Staffing Rating
Laurellwood Post-Acute And Rehabilitation Center holds an overall 2-star rating from CMS, which places it below average compared to other nursing facilities nationwide. That overall score is a composite of three separate ratings, and here it is weighted most heavily by the Health Inspection score, which is also 2 stars. That inspection rating reflects the number and seriousness of citations state inspectors found during their visits, so a below-average score here is something families should look into closely. It can point to concerns around care practices, safety protocols, or facility conditions that regulators flagged as problems.
The brighter spots are in staffing and quality measures. The 3-star staffing rating means the facility is roughly average in terms of how many nursing hours residents receive relative to the number of people living there, so families can expect a fairly typical level of hands-on care. The quality measures score is the strongest of the three at 4 stars, which is above average. That rating draws from 15 clinical indicators like fall rates, pressure ulcers, and other health outcomes, suggesting that residents tend to fare reasonably well in day-to-day physical care. The tension between the solid quality measures score and the weaker inspection results is worth asking the facility about directly, since inspection findings can sometimes reflect issues that do not yet show up in outcome data.

Questions to ask when visiting
1. How many residents does each certified nursing assistant care for during a typical day shift, and how does that change at night and on weekends?
2. How long have most of your nursing staff been working here, and what do you do when you need to fill a shift on short notice?
3. Can you walk me through exactly what happens if a resident falls, including who gets notified and how quickly?
4. What does a typical day look like for a resident who doesn't have many visitors or scheduled activities?
5. Have you had any state citations or failed inspections in the past two years, and if so, what specifically changed after that?
6. If my family member has a complaint or concern, who do they talk to, and what happens if that person doesn't resolve it?

About CMS Star Ratings
CMS assigns 1–5 star ratings to Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing homes based on three domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The overall rating is a weighted composite.
A 5-star overall rating does not guarantee excellence in every domain — inspect each sub-rating independently. Data is updated quarterly.
