Staffing Rating
Lake Worth Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite that weighs all three sub-ratings together, with health inspections carrying the most influence. So even though the facility scores well in two important areas, the inspection history pulls the overall number down significantly.
Looking at the pieces individually tells a more complete story. The 4-star staffing rating means nurses are spending more time with residents than you'd see at many comparable facilities, which is genuinely good news for day-to-day care. The 4-star quality measures rating reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical indicators, things like how well the facility manages pain, prevents infections, and maintains residents' physical functioning. The concern lies with the 2-star health inspection rating, which is based on the number and severity of violations found during state inspections. That score suggests inspectors have identified more problems here than at an average facility. Families should ask the facility directly about those citations, what was found and what steps have been taken to address them, before making a final decision.

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 most of your nursing staff been working here, and what does turnover look like over the past year?
3. If my loved one had a fall or a sudden change in condition, walk me through exactly what would happen and who would contact me?
4. How do you handle a resident who resists care or becomes agitated, and is there a plan in place before medications are ever considered?
5. Can I come back for an unannounced visit, and is there a specific time of day you would discourage me from stopping by?
6. What does a typical day actually look like for a resident who does not have many scheduled therapies, and how do you make sure they are not just sitting alone in their room?

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.
