The facility operates 154 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. It can be reached by phone at (217) 342-2171. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Lakeland Rehab & Healthcare Center received a 4-star rating in health inspections, indicating performance above the national average in that category. The staffing rating stands at 2 stars, which is below the national average and reflects the number of nursing hours provided per resident per day relative to other facilities. The quality measure rating is also 2 stars, below the national average, and is based on clinical data related to resident outcomes such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and other care indicators. Lakeland Rehab & Healthcare Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification makes the facility accessible to a broader range of residents, including those who may transition from Medicare-covered short-term rehabilitation to long-term care funded by Medicaid. Prospective residents and their families should contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits coordinator to clarify coverage details, prior authorization requirements, and any applicable out-of-pocket costs. When viewed in aggregate, Lakeland Rehab & Healthcare Center's overall 4-star CMS rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection component contributes positively to this standing, while the staffing and quality measure ratings, both at 2 stars, fall below national norms. This combination of scores suggests that the facility performs well in regulatory compliance areas while presenting areas where staffing levels and resident outcome measures rank lower relative to comparable facilities nationwide. CMS updates these ratings periodically, and the most current data should be consulted for the latest performance indicators.
