CMS overall star rating: this provider 2/5; median among 300 providers with a published value in the same state and provider category: 3/5.

Questions to take to Life Care Center of Morgan County

  • The published staff-turnover figure is 31.5%. Ask which reporting period it covers and how the current staffing team compares.
  • Ask who is responsible for care decisions locally and at LIFE CARE CENTERS OF AMERICA. A shared affiliation does not establish identical care at every location.
  • Check the source date and the latest official record before deciding. Bring the issues above to a visit or call rather than treating the profile as a recommendation.
