The facility operates 92 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit, individually owned organization. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is consistent with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Eastview Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center received a 2-star rating in health inspections, indicating performance below the national average in that category. The staffing rating stands at 3 stars, reflecting performance in line with national norms for nurse and staff hours per resident per day.

These measures include outcomes such as rates of hospitalization, use of antipsychotic medications, and physical functioning among residents. Eastview Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center 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 and rehabilitation services following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific conditions and time limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and medical eligibility requirements as defined by Alabama Medicaid. Residents and families seeking information about coverage specifics are advised to consult directly with the facility and the relevant program administrators. When considered against national benchmarks, Eastview Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating aligns with the national average, while its 5-star quality measure rating places it in the top tier of facilities nationally in that domain. The 2-star health inspection rating, however, falls below the national average, a factor that may be relevant when evaluating care environment standards. The staffing rating of 3 stars reflects performance comparable to national norms. Taken together, these data points reflect a facility that performs variably across the three CMS assessment categories. As with all CMS rating data, these figures represent a snapshot based on defined reporting periods and methodologies, and prospective residents or their representatives are encouraged to review the full CMS Care Compare profile for the most current information.
