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.

Same-ownership peers
Within Pennsylvania, Lifequest Nursing Center is one of 190 non profit - corporation nursing homes CMS rates. Its 4-star overall rating sits above the non profit - corporation-segment average of 3.9 stars, ahead of roughly 34% of same-ownership peers in the state.
