Washington Rehabilitation And Nursing Center

Washington Rehabilitation And Nursing Center earned an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite that pulls together three separate scores: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Each piece tells a different part of the story, so it helps to look at them individually. On health inspections, the facility also earned 5 stars, meaning state inspectors found very few or very minor issues compared to other nursing homes. That's a strong sign that the facility is being run safely and that problems get caught and corrected. The quality measures rating came in at 4 stars, which is above average. This score is based on 15 clinical indicators like whether residents are developing pressure sores, experiencing falls, or losing physical function, so a 4 here suggests residents are generally getting good hands-on care. Staffing landed at 3 stars, which is average. This reflects the number of nursing hours residents receive each day relative to how many residents live there. Average staffing isn't a red flag, but it's worth asking the facility how they handle coverage on nights and weekends, since staffing levels can vary. Overall, the combination of near-perfect inspection and quality scores is what pushed the composite rating to 5 stars, making this a facility worth serious consideration for your family.
