CMS Star Ratings

Health inspection
★★☆☆☆
Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Meridian Rehabilitation And Health Care Center holds a 3-star overall rating, CMS’s middle tier. Its health-inspection rating is lower than its overall rating — the overall score is being lifted by staffing or quality-measure ratings, which draw partly on facility-reported data. Federal regulators have fined this facility $46,483 in the last three years. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
