Questions to ask when you tour
Why no CMS rating appears
This facility isn't currently matched in CMS Care Compare — ask staff for the federal certification number so you can look up inspection reports and staffing ratings directly.
Relationship between licensee and operator
The licensed owner is Oakbend Medical Center, a hospital district authority, while day-to-day operations run through a separate management company — ask how decisions about staffing and care are made between the two entities.
Recent inspection history
Without a matched CMS record, the most recent state inspection findings aren't surfaced here — ask to see the last inspection report and any outstanding deficiency plans of correction.
Staffing levels and turnover
Federal staffing data isn't available for this location — ask how many nursing hours per resident per day they provide and what their staff turnover looked like in the past 12 months.
Bed availability and waitlist
With 180 licensed beds, ask how many are currently occupied and whether there is a waitlist for the care level your parent needs.
