Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Of Melbourne

Nursing & Rehabilitation Center Of Melbourne earns an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing facilities nationally. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and in this case, the pieces tell two very different stories. The health inspection rating is also 2 stars, meaning state inspectors found a number of citations that were more frequent or more serious than what you would typically see at an average facility. That is the piece that pulls the overall score down, and it is worth asking the facility directly about what those citations were and what steps have been taken to address them. The good news is that the other two pieces of the picture are genuinely encouraging. Staffing earns 4 stars, which means residents tend to receive more hands-on nursing time relative to the number of people living there. More staff time generally translates to quicker responses, more attentive daily care, and less reliance on residents waiting for help. Quality Measures also comes in at 4 stars, reflecting that on 15 tracked health outcomes, such as fall rates, pressure ulcers, and pain management, residents are faring better than average. Families considering this facility would be wise to weigh those strengths while taking a closer look at the inspection history before making a final decision.
