Staffing Rating
Palmetto Care Center And Rehab holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score and puts it well above average compared to nursing homes across the country. That overall rating is built from three separate scores, so it gives you a more complete picture than a single number alone. The health inspection rating comes in at 4 stars, meaning state inspectors found fewer or less serious issues than most facilities, which is a good sign that the home is generally well-run and following proper care protocols. The staffing rating is also 4 stars, reflecting that nurses and aides are spending more time with residents than the typical facility, so your loved one is less likely to feel overlooked or have to wait long for help. The quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, the strongest of the three, and this one looks at real clinical outcomes like fall rates, pressure wounds, and how well residents maintain their physical function, so it speaks directly to the care people actually receive day to day.
Taken together, these numbers suggest Palmetto Care Center And Rehab is performing at a high level across the board. No facility is perfect, and the 4-star scores in inspections and staffing just mean there is always some room for improvement, but nothing here raises a red flag. The 5-star overall rating reflects a facility that consistently outperforms most of its peers, which should give families a reasonable level of confidence as they weigh their options.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during the day shift, and does that number go up at night or on weekends?
2. How long have your nurses and aides been working here on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one falls or has a medical emergency in the middle of the night, walk me through exactly what happens from the moment it occurs.
4. Can I visit at any time without calling ahead first, including during meals and in the evening?
5. What does a typical weekday look like for a resident who is mobile versus one who is mostly in bed, and how do you make sure people are not sitting alone in their rooms for long stretches?
6. How do you handle a situation where a family member believes their loved one is not getting the care they were promised, and can you give me an example of a complaint that was resolved here recently?

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.
