Staffing Rating
Lake Montgomery Health And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 5-star rating from CMS, which is the highest possible score. That overall rating is a composite of three separate areas, each measuring something different about the facility. On health inspections, which track how many citations state inspectors found and how serious those issues were, the center earned 4 stars, meaning it came in above average with a cleaner inspection record than most facilities. Staffing also earned 4 stars, which reflects that nurses are spending more time with residents than you would see at a typical facility - a good sign that your loved one is less likely to be left waiting for help or attention. Quality Measures came in at a perfect 5 stars, meaning the actual health outcomes for residents, things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management, are among the best in the country. What this picture tells a family is that the facility performs at a high level across the board. The quality outcomes score is especially meaningful because it reflects what is actually happening to residents day to day, not just what inspectors observed during a visit. The strong staffing number helps explain why those outcomes are so good. The overall 5-star rating pulls these pieces together into a single snapshot, and in this case, all three components are pointing in the same direction. This is a facility that stands out as a well-run option worth serious consideration.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant typically care for during the day shift, and how does that number change at night and on weekends? 2. How long have your charge nurses and CNAs been working here on average, and what does your staff turnover look like over the past year? 3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens when a resident has a fall, including how quickly family members are notified and what follow-up care looks like? 4. If my loved one needs help getting to the bathroom, how long should they expect to wait after pressing the call button, and how do you track that? 5. What does a typical weekday actually look like for a resident who is mobile and wants to stay active, and what options exist for someone who has more limited mobility? 6. How many state inspection citations has this facility received in the past two years, and can you show me the most recent inspection report?

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.
