How to read AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE's star rating
The CMS overall star rating for AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 1-star overall rating means AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE scores below most rated providers nationally. A low overall rating is most often driven by health inspection findings, which carry the heaviest weight in the CMS formula.
For AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE, CMS currently publishes 1 out of 5 for health inspections, 3 out of 5 for staffing, 3 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Washington providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
In local context: 14 rated facilities in Spokane average 2.6 out of 5, and the Washington average is 3.2. AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE rates 1 out of 5, below that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.
What AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE's inspection record shows
No deficiency citations for AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.
Before you rely on a clean record, ask AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Washington survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.
What nursing home costs near Spokane, Washington
Washington nursing home typically runs $3,800 to $6,000 per month, a midpoint of roughly $4,900 — about $58,800 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.
Actual pricing at AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. For skilled nursing, Medicare may cover a limited post-hospital stay in full for the first 20 days and partially through day 100 when the stay qualifies; long-term custodial care is generally paid privately or through Medicaid once assets are spent down.
When you call AVALON CARE CENTER AT NORTHPOINTE, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
