Data insights

Quality ratings

What each sub-rating measures

The staffing rating compares case-mix-adjusted nurse hours per resident day to national benchmarks, and quality measures aggregate 15 clinical indicators including pressure ulcers, falls with injury, and long-stay antipsychotic use.

Size and setting

Located in Waseca, Minnesota, this facility operates 52 certified beds with an average daily census of roughly 37 residents - an occupancy rate of about 71%. The facility is classified under for profit - corporation ownership, a designation that can influence staffing patterns, reinvestment decisions, and admissions policy. At roughly 71% occupancy, this facility has meaningful open capacity relative to its certified bed count.

Same-ownership peers

Within Minnesota, Lakeshore Rehabilitation Center LLC is one of 71 for profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the for profit - corporation-segment average of 2.4 stars, ahead of roughly 79% of same-ownership peers in the state.

Inspection record

On the regulatory side, federal and state surveyors have documented multiple deficiencies at this facility (13 total). CMS has levied no enforcement penalties over the equivalent window. This is a high deficiency count relative to most facilities; requesting the full survey report directly is the only way to see whether these are concentrated in one area or spread across the facility's operations.

Where these figures come from

The figures above come directly from the U.S. Centers for Medicare \& Medicaid Services Nursing Home Compare dataset for federal quality ratings, combined with the CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey of more than 15,000 elder-care providers nationwide and U.S. Census American Community Survey income data. Cost figures are monthly medians, refreshed annually with each new CareScout release; quality ratings are refreshed quarterly from the CMS Provider Information File. Read these state and county medians as benchmarks, then verify current rates with individual providers and consult care managers before making placement decisions.
