LAKE PORT SQUARE HEALTH CENTER

Lake Port Square Health Center holds an overall 3-star rating from CMS, which means it performs at an average level compared to other nursing homes across the country. That overall score is built from three separate ratings that each look at something different. The health inspection rating, also 3 stars, reflects the number and seriousness of citations found during state inspections, so an average score here means inspectors found a typical range of issues, nothing unusually concerning but also no standout record. The staffing rating, again 3 stars, is based on how many hours of nursing care residents receive relative to how many residents live there, so families can expect a fairly typical level of nursing attention, not stretched thin but not exceptionally attentive either. The quality measures rating, also 3 stars, comes from 15 clinical indicators that track things like fall rates, pressure wounds, and other health outcomes for residents, and an average score suggests residents are experiencing results in line with most other facilities. Taken together, this is a facility that does not raise red flags in any particular area, but it also does not stand out as exceptional in any area either. For families, a 3-star rating is a reasonable starting point, but it is worth visiting in person, asking about staffing on nights and weekends specifically, and asking staff how they handle situations relevant to your loved one's care needs.
