LITTLE RIVER NURSING & REHAB

Little River Nursing & Rehab holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, so it helps to look at each one individually to get the full picture. On health inspections, the facility earned 4 stars, which reflects fewer and less serious citations during state inspections than most facilities. That's a good sign for families worried about safety and regulatory compliance. Staffing also comes in at 4 stars, meaning nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than you'd typically see at comparable facilities, which generally translates to more attentive day-to-day care. The one area worth paying closer attention to is the 2-star quality measures rating. This score is based on 15 clinical indicators like rates of falls, pressure wounds, infections, and other health outcomes for residents. A below-average score here suggests that despite solid staffing levels and a clean inspection record, resident health outcomes may not be keeping pace. Families should ask the facility directly about which specific measures are driving that lower score and what steps are being taken to improve them.
