Lake Stockton Healthcare Facility has received a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest score available in the agency’s Five-Star Quality Rating System.

The facility, which is owned and operated by Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation in Bolivar, provides skilled nursing, memory care, and rehabilitation services. The CMS rating system evaluates nursing homes across the country based on health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. A five-star rating means that a facility is considered “much above average” in overall quality by CMS.

“This rating is a testament to the hard work and compassion our team brings to residents every day,” said Chris McBratney, administrator of Lake Stockton Healthcare Facility. “We’re proud to be recognized among the nation’s top facilities.”

McBratney attributed the high rating to staff dedication in providing compassionate care and services, maintaining thorough documentation, and following CMH’s core values even during difficult periods.

Citizens Memorial Health Care Foundation manages six long-term care facilities as well as one residential care center located across Cedar, Dallas, Greene, and Polk counties.
