Wedgewood Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center

Wedgewood Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 4-star rating, which means it performs above average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and it is worth understanding what each one tells you on its own. The health inspection rating sits at 3 stars, meaning the facility is about average when it comes to citations from state inspectors, so no major red flags there but not a standout either. The staffing rating is 2 stars, which is the most notable concern here. It falls below average, meaning nurses and aides are caring for more residents relative to staff hours than you would ideally want to see. That can affect how quickly call lights get answered and how much individual attention your loved one receives day to day. On the bright side, the quality measures rating is a perfect 5 stars, reflecting much better than average outcomes across 15 clinical indicators like wound care, falls, and mobility, which suggests that despite leaner staffing, the care being delivered is producing strong real-world results for residents. The reason the overall rating still comes out at 4 stars even with a weaker staffing score is that CMS weighs these components together, and the exceptional quality measures performance carries significant influence. For families, the practical takeaway is that Wedgewood appears to be getting good outcomes for its residents, but it is worth asking the facility directly about staffing levels and how they manage coverage, especially on evenings and weekends.
