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.
North Pointe Care Center, a 99-bed skilled nursing facility at 668 East Bullard Avenue in East Fresno, is privately operated by North Point Wellness Group LLC and certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. The community’s census and payer mix reveal a facility organized around short-term post-acute rehabilitation: 79% of its 253 admissions arrive under Medicare for typical 16-day stays, with smaller populations of private-pay short-term residents and Medicaid long-term patients.
The facility’s inspection and quality profile presents a mixed picture. Its health inspection rating, 78.8% above California average, stands as a compelling regulatory strength, backed by a clean three-year penalty record.
Its 4-star quality measures rating reflects notably strong outcomes for long-stay residents: hospitalization rates 48% lower than state average, urinary tract infection rates 44% lower, and fall-related injuries at roughly half the state rate. But short-stay discharge outcomes tell a different story. Residents leaving after brief rehabilitation stays show re-hospitalization rates 28% worse than the state average (29.8% vs. 23.2%), and emergency department visit rates 39% worse (15.6% vs. 11.2%), a signal of potential care gaps or inadequate post-discharge support for the rehab population.
Staffing metrics compound this concern. All six nursing staffing categories run below state average, with a staff-to-resident ratio of 1.28:1, 29% below the California norm, and LPN hours at roughly half the state average (50 minutes vs. 1 hour 13 minutes). Occupancy is high at 88.8%, well above state average, with strong financial demand masking an operating loss of $807,400.
The facility is well-positioned for Medicare short-stay rehabilitation in a walkable, accessible location, though the staffing profile and elevated short-stay discharge acuity warrant direct evaluation of care continuity planning.
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 222nd out of 293 homes in California 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 | ▼ 8% State avg: 39m 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.
| 50m per day | ▼ 32% State avg: 1h 13m 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 30m per day | ▼ 6% State avg: 2h 39m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 36m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 4h 5m 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 5m 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
Average number of days residents stay at this facility, based on CMS cost report data. Shorter stays often reflect post-acute or rehab care; longer stays reflect long-term care.
