The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5, with higher ratings indicating stronger performance relative to other facilities. Lakeland Rehab and Healthcare Center holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars.

The staffing rating is 2 stars, which falls below the national average and reflects the reported levels of nursing staff relative to the number of residents. Lakeland Rehab and Healthcare Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning the facility accepts residents whose care may be funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to coverage limits and eligibility requirements. Medicaid coverage for long-term care is generally available to residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria as defined by Indiana state guidelines. Individuals seeking information about coverage should consult directly with the facility or a qualified benefits counselor to confirm current participation and availability. When compared against national averages, Lakeland Rehab and Healthcare Center presents a mixed performance profile. The overall 4-star rating, along with the 4-star ratings in health inspections and quality measures, places the facility above the national baseline in those domains. The staffing rating of 2 stars, however, is below the national average, which may be a relevant factor for those assessing the facility's care capacity. The facility's 75-bed size is relatively modest compared to the national median for skilled nursing facilities, which can influence the staffing ratios and the overall care environment. This data is drawn from CMS reporting and reflects performance at the time of the most recent survey cycle.
