SYLACAUGA HEALTH AND REHAB SERVICES

Sylacauga Health and Rehab Services earns an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts this facility well above average nationally. That overall rating is a composite picture built from three separate categories, each measuring something different about how a facility operates and cares for its residents. On health inspections, the facility scores 4 out of 5 stars, meaning state surveyors found fewer or less serious citations than most nursing homes when they came in to inspect. That is a reassuring sign that the facility is generally meeting care and safety standards. Staffing also comes in at 4 stars, which tells you that nurses are spending more time with residents than the average facility, and that matters day to day when your loved one needs help or something changes with their health. The standout here is the quality measures rating, a perfect 5 stars. That score reflects how residents are actually doing across 15 clinical markers, things like rates of infections, falls, pressure wounds, and whether residents are maintaining their physical function. A 5-star score there means the outcomes for residents are much better than average, and that is often the most meaningful number for families to pay attention to.
