Staffing Rating
Morton Plant Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, meaning it performs above average compared to nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, each looking at a different piece of the picture, and they don't all have to match. Here, two areas shine while one sits in the middle.
The staffing rating is a perfect 5 stars, which tells you the facility dedicates significantly more nursing hours per resident than most homes across the country. In practical terms, that means residents are more likely to get timely attention rather than waiting on a stretched-thin staff. The quality measures rating comes in at 4 stars, above average, reflecting strong outcomes across 15 tracked health indicators like wound care, fall rates, and whether residents maintain their ability to move around independently. The health inspection rating is 3 stars, right at the national average, meaning state inspectors found a typical number of citations during their visits. That's not a red flag, but it's worth asking the facility directly what was cited and how they addressed it. Put it all together, and Morton Plant paints a picture of a well-staffed facility with solid health outcomes, with routine inspection findings that are common but worth a closer look.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift and night shift, and has that number changed in the past year?
2. How long have your nursing staff and CNAs been working here on average, and what does your turnover look like compared to last year?
3. If my loved one had a fall or a sudden change in condition overnight, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact me.
4. Can I see the most recent state inspection report, and can you explain any deficiencies that were cited and what you did to fix them?
5. What does a typical weekday actually look like for a resident who does not have many visitors, from waking up in the morning through the evening?
6. If my family member is unhappy here or feels their concerns are being ignored, what is the process for raising that complaint, and who outside of this facility can they contact?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
