CMS overall star rating: this provider 2/5; median among 190 providers with a published value in the same state and provider category: 3/5.

Questions to take to Ludlowe Center for Health & Rehabilitation

  • The snapshot includes a CMS abuse citation icon. Ask which inspection it relates to, what corrective action followed, and whether CMS has updated the designation.
  • The published staff-turnover figure is 23.6%. Ask which reporting period it covers and how the current staffing team compares.
  • Ask who is responsible for care decisions locally and at NATIONAL HEALTH CARE ASSOCIATES. 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.
