Staffing Rating
Coler Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center holds a 5-star overall rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite built from three separate ratings, each looking at a different part of how the facility operates. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most nursing homes in the country. The staffing rating is a perfect 5 stars, which tells you nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd typically see elsewhere. More staff time generally means faster responses, more attentive care, and less of the rushed feeling that families often worry about. The quality measures rating lands at 3 stars, which is average. That score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 tracked health indicators, things like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and medication use. Average here isn't alarming, but it does suggest there's room for improvement on the measurable, outcome-based side of care.
The good news is that the overall 5-star rating reflects how these pieces come together, and two of the three categories are genuinely strong. The standout staffing score is especially meaningful for families, since consistent, attentive staffing is often the single biggest factor in day-to-day quality of life for residents. The average quality measures score is worth asking the facility about directly, particularly if your loved one has specific health conditions that relate to those tracked outcomes. Overall, this is a well-rated facility, but going in with a few informed questions will help you get the full picture.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift, and does that number change at night or on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do to keep turnover low?
3. If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment staff finds out.
4. Can I come back for an unannounced visit, and are there any times of day or areas of the building I would not be allowed to see?
5. How do you handle it when a resident tells you they are unhappy with their care, and can you give me a recent example of a complaint and how it was resolved?
6. What does a typical Tuesday look like for a resident who does not have any scheduled therapy or medical appointments that day?

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.
