Jackson Memorial Perdue Medical Center

Jackson Memorial Perdue Medical Center holds an overall 4-star rating from CMS, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is built from three separate ratings, each measuring something different, and they are weighted and combined into one composite picture. Think of it as a report card where some grades carry more weight than others. Looking at each piece individually gives you a clearer sense of what you are actually getting. The 3-star health inspection rating is right at the national average, meaning state inspectors found a typical number and severity of citations during their visits. It is not a red flag, but it does suggest there is room for improvement on the compliance side. The staffing rating is a perfect 5 stars, which is genuinely reassuring. It means nurses and aides are spending significantly more time with residents than at most facilities, and that kind of hands-on attention tends to make a real difference in day-to-day care and safety. The 4-star quality measures rating reflects above-average outcomes across 15 clinical benchmarks, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, and maintains residents' physical functioning. Taken together, the staffing and quality scores are strong, and they pull the overall rating above the national average despite the middling inspection score.
