Nursing Home
The Myrtles Nursing Center
The Myrtles Nursing Center is a health care community offering individuals a place to recover, rehabilitate and/or reside, depending on their specific needs. For individuals who need short-term care after a surgery or hospital stay, skilled nursing services are provided to help speed recovery. The facility also offers long-term care in a homelike environment with plenty of activities to nurture the body, mind, and spirit.
Quality ratings
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
