Premier Rehab And Healthcare At Burlington holds a 1-star overall rating, in the bottom two tiers CMS assigns. Nursing staff turnover of 70% is well above the Vermont average of 55%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. Federal regulators have fined this facility $137,679 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.
