WESTLAKE NURSING AND REHAB CENTER

Westlake Nursing And Rehab Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is shaped by three separate ratings that each measure something different. The health inspection rating, also 2 stars, carries the most weight in the overall calculation, and this is where the facility struggles. It reflects the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections, so a below-average score here means inspectors have flagged more problems, or more serious ones, than you would typically see at a comparable facility. That is something families should look into closely before making a decision. The good news is that the other two ratings tell a more encouraging story. Staffing earned 4 stars, meaning residents tend to receive more nursing time and attention relative to how many people live there, which can make a real difference in day-to-day care quality. Quality Measures also came in at 4 stars, reflecting above-average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management. So while the hands-on care and resident health outcomes appear solid, the inspection history is pulling the overall rating down significantly. Families would be wise to ask the facility directly about recent inspection findings and what steps have been taken to address them.
