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.
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.
The 120-bed nursing home at Garden View Care Center at Dougherty Ferry is located on Big Bend Road in Valley Park, Missouri, under owner Courtney Nieves and administrator Alisa Santangelo. Administrative staff process payments across several standard coverage programs, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay. If you want to check out the local surroundings, the facility sits in a car-dependent layout where family members can walk to a few select spots but will generally find a vehicle practical for most errands.
Stays at this property average roughly 97 days, an operational timeline that reflects an everyday focus on temporary post-hospital therapy alongside conventional long-term residential placements. To oversee routine medical care and physical needs, the 24-hour staffing schedule organizes an average of seven hours of total nursing care per resident each day. This shared workload is split among registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides across all shifts.
Records from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services track the building’s historical regulatory performance. State compliance records confirm that the administrative team runs its daily operations and nursing documentation within regional guidelines, which keeps the home’s long-term cumulative citations-per-inspection rate at zero.
Prospective residents can access focused physical rehabilitation loops, temporary respite care, and a specialized Assisted Living Plus option. The everyday calendar coordinates these medical structures with restaurant-style dining selections tailored to standard therapeutic parameters.
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.
This home is ranked 1st out of 276 homes in Missouri for nurse hours. 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.
| 36m per day | ▲ 29% 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.
| 1h 2m per day | ▲ 51% 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.
| 3h 59m per day | ▲ 72% 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.
| 5h 29m per day | ▲ 80% State avg: 3h 3m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 2m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2m 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.
| 40m per day | ▲ 100% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
