CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
In Joplin’s Southwood Forest neighborhood, Aspire Senior Living Joplin operates as a single-story nursing home at 2218 W 32nd Street. The facility handles memory care, rehabilitation, and skilled nursing; it is not Medicare or Medicaid CMS-certified but does work within Missouri’s state system: MO HealthNet waivers, Supplemental Nursing Care program, Structured Family Caregiving Waiver (for dementia), and Medicare Savings Program coverage where applicable. Private payment is an option. Missouri’s Department of Health provides the regulatory framework, not federal CMS.
Walk Score 32 captures a somewhat walkable area, with some errands doable on foot, most requiring transport. The facility is 3.6 miles from downtown, positioned near Landmark Hospital of Joplin, dining options, and banking services. The building is single-story with shared room housing. This infrastructure positions residents for manageable navigation if mobility is limited.
The care model emphasizes 24-hour nursing with specialized memory care and rehabilitation programming. Daily structure includes stretching exercises, social gatherings, and recreational games aimed at engagement and cognition. Meals are dietitian-planned with dietary accommodations built in.
Transportation is provided; on-site medical services are available. Each resident receives a personalized care plan. The facility maintains this operational posture within a state-regulated framework for residents who qualify for Missouri Medicaid or who pay privately.
The facility’s reliance on state-level regulatory frameworks rather than federal CMS certification defines its current operational and financial landscape for prospective residents.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 27m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 39m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 47m per day | ▲ 20% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 3h 35m per day | ▲ 17% State avg: 3h 3m per day · National avg: 3h 27m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 5m per day | ▲ 80% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 25m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
