Staffing Rating
Lee Memorial Hospital Skilled Nursing Unit earns a perfect 5-star rating across every category CMS measures, which puts it well above average compared to skilled nursing facilities nationwide. The health inspection score reflects that state surveyors found very few, if any, significant problems during their visits, which is a strong sign that the facility is being run carefully and consistently. The staffing score tells you that nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd typically see elsewhere, meaning your loved one is less likely to get lost in the shuffle during a busy shift. The quality measures score is based on 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are developing pressure sores, losing too much weight, or ending up back in the hospital, and a top score here means the facility is performing well on those real, day-to-day health indicators.
The overall 5-star rating is a composite of all three categories, so it reflects the full picture rather than just one strong area. What makes this result particularly reassuring is that there are no weak spots hiding behind an otherwise good number. A facility can sometimes average out to a decent overall score even when one category drags. That is not the case here. Across inspections, staffing, and clinical outcomes, this unit is consistently performing at the highest level, which gives families a reasonable basis for confidence when considering care here.

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 does that number change on weekends or holidays?
2. If my loved one has a concern or feels unsafe, who specifically do they talk to, and what happens after that conversation?
3. How often do residents see the same aides and nurses, or does staff change frequently from week to week?
4. What does a typical day look like for a resident who isn't in therapy, and how much time do they spend out of their room?
5. How many falls or serious injuries happened here in the past year, and what changes were made after those incidents?
6. Can I visit at different times of day without giving advance notice, and are there any times when family visits aren't allowed?

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.
