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.
Sunshine Health and Rehabilitation occupies a single-story building at 10410 E 9th Ave, Building A, in Spokane Valley’s Dishman neighborhood. It is a 37-bed facility owned by Carol Dikes, covering nursing home, assisted living, memory care, and home care. The neighborhood walks at a 28, meaning a car is practical for most trips.
The numbers tell a short-stay story where average length of stay is 25 days, and 36 of 37 beds are currently filled, a 90.7% occupancy rate. Rehabilitation is the operational core: a physical therapist is on staff, and total nursing care runs to 4 hours 54 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses contribute 1 hour 31 minutes of that daily total; nurse aides cover 2 hours 47 minutes. A doctor is on-site, and nursing staff are present around the clock.
The service range goes beyond rehabilitation. Behavioral health services are available, backed by a mental health service worker in the staffing roster. Memory care and assisted living are offered for residents whose needs extend past short-term recovery. Dental services staff are also on-site.
Residents receive three meals daily along with housekeeping, laundry, and an activity program. Care plans are individualized.
The facility accepts Medicare and private pay.
Sunshine Health and Rehabilitation is a compact, high-occupancy post-acute facility where rehabilitation is the primary draw, but the clinical infrastructure, including behavioral health, memory care, and on-site dental and physician access, supports residents with a wider range of ongoing needs.
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 7th out of 90 homes in Washington 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.
| 1h 31m per day | ▲ 72% State avg: 53m 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.
| 44m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 49m 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 | ▲ 3% State avg: 2h 41m 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.
| 4h 13m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 3h 47m 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.
| 31m per day | ▲ 516% 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.
| 43m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."
