CMS Star Ratings
Overall rating

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

Quality measures
★★★★★
Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Life Care Center Of Hendersonville 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. Nursing staff turnover of 56% is well above the North Carolina average of 49%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $40,986 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.
