ATHENS HEALTH AND REHABILITATION LLC

Athens Health and Rehabilitation LLC is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 611 West Market Street in Athens, Alabama, within Limestone County. The facility operates with 149 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. CMS assigns Athens Health and Rehabilitation LLC an overall star rating of 5 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 4 out of 5 stars, reflecting the outcomes of standard and complaint inspections conducted by state surveyors. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5 stars, which is based on nurse staffing hours per resident per day, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5 stars, representing performance across a set of clinical quality indicators drawn from resident assessment data. This facility is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is eligible to serve residents who rely on either federal program for payment. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Individuals whose care is funded through private pay or private insurance may also be served, though coverage details should be confirmed directly with the facility. Compared to the national average overall star rating of 3.0 stars, Athens Health and Rehabilitation LLC performs above that benchmark across all reported dimensions. Its health inspection rating of 4 stars and staffing rating of 4 stars each exceed the national average, while its quality measure rating of 5 stars represents the highest tier available in the CMS rating system. These ratings are updated periodically by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and reflect data collected during specific review periods. Ratings may change over time as new inspection, staffing, and quality data are incorporated.
