MONROE MANOR HEALTH & REHABILITATION CENTER

Monroe Manor Health & Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different, so it's worth knowing what's driving that number. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, which is a good sign. State inspectors found fewer or less serious problems here than at most facilities, meaning the home has a relatively clean track record when regulators come through the door. Staffing also earns 4 stars, reflecting that nurses are spending more time with residents than the national average - practically speaking, that often means residents wait less and get more consistent attention. The one area to keep in mind is quality measures, which sits at 3 stars, or average. This score is based on 15 clinical outcomes like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and how residents are managing pain and mobility. Average isn't alarming, but it does suggest that while the facility is well-run and well-staffed, the real-world health outcomes for residents are pretty middle-of-the-road. Families should feel comfortable asking the facility directly which of those 15 measures they score highest and lowest on.
