Sunset Lake Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center

Sunset Lake Healthcare And Rehabilitation Center earns an overall 2-star rating, which means it falls below average compared to other nursing homes nationwide. That overall score is a composite built from three separate ratings, and in this case the pieces tell a complicated story. The health inspection rating is just 1 out of 5 stars, the lowest possible, which reflects that state inspectors found a higher-than-average number of problems during their visits, and some of those citations were likely on the more serious end of the scale. That is the piece that pulls the overall rating down the most, and it is something families should look into closely by reviewing the actual inspection reports. On the staffing side, the facility sits right at average with 3 stars, meaning residents are getting a fairly typical amount of nurse time relative to the number of people living there, not a standout but not a red flag either. The bright spot here is the quality measures rating, which is a perfect 5 stars. That score is based on 15 clinical outcomes, things like whether residents are developing pressure wounds, losing too much weight, experiencing falls, or declining in their ability to move around. A 5-star score in this category means the facility is performing much better than average on those day-to-day health outcomes. For families, that contrast is worth sitting with. The hands-on care results look genuinely strong, but the inspection history raises real questions. Before making a decision, it would be worth asking the facility directly about what was cited during inspections and what steps they have taken to address those findings.
