THE LODGE HEALTHCARE AND REHABILITATION CENTER

The Lodge Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 3-star rating, which CMS considers average. That overall score is a composite that pulls together three separate ratings, each measuring something different about the facility. Health inspections and staffing carry more weight in the overall calculation, which is why a 5-star Quality Measures score still results in a middle-of-the-road overall rating when the other two areas are dragging it down. Breaking it down practically: the 2-star Health Inspection rating means state inspectors found more citations, or more serious ones, than you would typically see at a comparable facility. That is worth looking into further, since those reports are public and detail exactly what was cited. The 2-star Staffing rating tells you that nurses and aides are spending fewer hours per resident per day than average, which can affect how quickly call lights get answered or how attentive day-to-day care feels. The bright spot is the 5-star Quality Measures rating, which is the highest possible score. This reflects strong outcomes across 15 clinical measures, things like the rate of falls, pressure ulcers, or hospital readmissions. It suggests that despite leaner staffing, residents are achieving solid health outcomes, which is meaningful. Families should weigh all three pieces together and consider visiting in person to get a fuller picture.
