The facility holds an overall CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of 5 stars, which is the highest rating available in the CMS rating system. This composite rating draws from three component categories. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, reflecting results from state and federal inspection surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, representing measures such as registered nurse hours per resident per day and total staffing levels relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is 5 stars, based on clinical data reported for residents across a range of health and functional outcomes. Each component is scored on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, with higher numbers indicating performance closer to or above established benchmarks. Lawton Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification means the facility may serve residents whose care is funded through federal Medicare benefits, typically covering short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation stays, as well as residents whose care is funded through the joint federal and state Medicaid program, which more commonly covers long-term custodial care for individuals who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria. Prospective residents and their families should contact the facility directly to inquire about current bed availability and specific payment arrangements. For context, the national average overall CMS star rating for skilled nursing facilities is 3.0 stars. Lawton Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center's overall rating of 5 stars places it above this national average. Its quality measure rating of 5 stars similarly exceeds the national benchmark, while both its health inspection and staffing ratings of 4 stars reflect performance above the national average as well. These ratings are based on data collected and published by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and are updated periodically as new inspection, staffing, and clinical data become available.
