5★ official rating · Part of Communicare Health
It gets 2 out of 5 stars overall, which is below average. Health inspections are rated 2 stars, staffing 2 stars, and quality measures 3 stars — with short-stay (rehabilitation) quality rated 1 star and long-stay quality 4 stars. Star ratings come from government inspections and required reporting — they are a government measure, not reviews.
For a short rehab stay, ask about therapy staffing and results, since short-stay quality is rated 1 star. Also ask about the 22 inspection deficiencies and 2 fines totaling about $28,000 — what was cited and what changed — and how many nurses and aides cover each shift, since about half of RNs left over the past year.
What government inspectors found when they visited in person.
How much time nurses and aides have for each resident, per day.

From government health inspections and reporting · updated July 9, 2026.
Every licensed and certified nursing home is scored from 1 to 5 stars using the same government data: on-site health inspections, staffing levels, and measures of how residents do over time. 5 is much better than average; 1 is much worse. The percentile shows where Mercer Healthcare Centerlands against other homes — a low score doesn’t always mean bad care today, and a high score isn’t a guarantee, but it tells you what to ask about. Visiting in person is still the best test.
The most recent inspection cycle found 22 deficiencies. Over the past three years, this facility paid 2 fines totaling $28,060.
When inspectors find a rule not being met — anything from paperwork to resident care — they record a “deficiency,” and the facility has to fix it. Most nursing homes have at least a few. Fines are money penalties for more serious or repeated problems. Many deficiencies or large fines are worth asking about when you visit.
