LUVERNE HEALTH AND REHABILITATION, LLC

Luverne Health and Rehabilitation holds a 4-out-of-5-star overall rating from CMS, which puts it above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall number is a composite of three separate ratings, and understanding each one gives you a clearer picture of what you can actually expect for your loved one. The strongest piece here is the Health Inspection rating, also 4 stars, which means state inspectors found fewer or less serious problems at this facility than at most others. That is a good sign for basic safety and compliance. Staffing and Quality Measures both come in at 3 stars, which is average. The staffing score tells you that nurses and aides are spending a fairly typical amount of time per resident each day, not exceptional but not concerning either. The Quality Measures score reflects clinical outcomes across 15 health indicators, things like whether residents develop pressure sores, experience falls, or lose too much weight. Sitting at average there means the facility is keeping pace with peers but has some room to improve. Taken together, the above-average inspection results pull the overall rating up, while the middle-of-the-road staffing and clinical outcomes keep it from reaching 5 stars. For families, this generally suggests a reasonably well-run facility worth considering, though asking the staff directly about their nurse-to-resident ratios and how they handle specific health concerns for your loved one is always a smart next step.
