CMS Star Ratings

Rochester Restorative Care Center holds a 1-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 100% is well above the Minnesota average of 42%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $387,209 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.
