Scott Lake Health And Rehabilitation Center

Scott Lake Health and Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, and in this case, those three pieces tell a pretty uneven story. The health inspection rating is just 1 star, meaning state inspectors have cited this facility more frequently or more seriously than most, which is something families should look into closely - you can request details on what those citations were for and how the facility responded. On the brighter side, staffing sits at 3 stars, so residents are getting a roughly average amount of nursing time relative to the number of people living there. The standout number is the 5-star quality measures rating, which reflects how residents are actually doing physically and clinically across 15 tracked health outcomes - things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and pain management. That top score suggests the care being delivered day-to-day is producing strong results for residents. The tension between a 1-star inspection record and 5-star clinical outcomes is worth thinking through carefully. It could mean the facility has had regulatory or documentation issues that don't necessarily show up in how residents feel and function, or it could reflect a facility that is working to turn things around. Either way, families should ask the facility directly about recent inspection findings and what steps have been taken to address them before making a final decision.
