Lake Pleasant Post Acute Rehabilitation Center

Lake Pleasant Post Acute Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which puts it above average compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and it's worth knowing how each one landed because they tell different stories. The health inspection rating came in at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average in terms of how state inspectors have found it during their visits, with a typical level of citations in terms of number and seriousness. The staffing rating is 2 stars, which is below average and signals that nurses are spending fewer hours per resident per day than you'd expect to see at a comparable facility. That's something families should ask about directly, since staffing levels can affect how quickly staff respond to residents and how much hands-on care each person receives. The quality measures rating, on the other hand, is a perfect 5 stars, meaning the facility scores much better than average across 15 clinical health outcomes, things like rates of falls, pressure ulcers, hospital readmissions, and how well residents maintain their physical function. The strength of that quality measures score is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in pushing the overall rating up to 4 stars. Practically speaking, this suggests that despite having fewer staff than the average facility, the residents there are experiencing strong health outcomes. That's encouraging, but the lower staffing number is still worth a conversation with the facility's administration before making a decision.
