CHARLTON PLACE REHAB AND HEALTHCARE CENTER

Charlton Place Rehab and Healthcare Center earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and places it well above most nursing homes nationally. That top score is a composite picture built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. The health inspection rating, also 5 stars, is perhaps the most telling piece. It means state inspectors found very few problems during their visits, and any issues they did find were minor in nature. For families, that translates to a facility that is consistently meeting safety and care standards when outside eyes are watching. The staffing rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the typical facility. More staff time generally means residents get help faster, whether that is assistance with meals, mobility, or day-to-day needs. The one area worth noting is the quality measures rating, which sits at 3 stars, or average. This score is based on 15 clinical health outcomes tracked over time, things like rates of falls, pressure wounds, infections, or hospital readmissions. An average score here does not mean anything alarming, but it does suggest that while the facility runs a clean, well-staffed operation, its clinical health outcomes for residents are roughly in line with the national middle ground rather than standing out as exceptional. The strong inspection and staffing scores carry significant weight in the overall calculation, which is why Charlton Place still lands at 5 stars overall. Families can feel encouraged by this rating while also knowing it is worth asking the facility directly about any specific clinical outcomes that matter most to their loved one's condition.
