Staffing Rating
Oceanside Care Center Inc. earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above the national average. That overall rating is built from three separate scores, so it helps to look at each one individually to get the full picture. The health inspection rating came in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer and less serious issues here than at most facilities - that is a good sign for families who want to know the building is being run safely and responsibly. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, which tells you that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you would see at a typical nursing home - more staff time generally means more attentive, personalized care. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, fall rates, and medication management - basically, residents here are doing well on the things that matter most to their health and daily functioning.
The fact that two of the three sub-ratings are 4 stars while quality measures hit 5 stars is actually a meaningful combination. It suggests that even where there is a little room to grow on inspections or staffing levels, the care residents are actually receiving is producing excellent real-world outcomes. For a family weighing options, a 5-star overall rating backed by strong sub-ratings like these gives you a reasonable level of confidence that Oceanside Care Center is a well-run facility providing above-average care.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your nurses and aides been working here on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency overnight, who responds, how quickly, and what is the process for notifying family?
4. Can you walk me through exactly what a typical day looks like for a resident who needs help with bathing, meals, and getting around?
5. Have you had any state citations or deficiencies in the past two years, and if so, what specific changes did you make to address them?
6. How do you handle it when a resident or family member has a complaint, and can you give me an example of a time that led to a real change in how things are done here?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
