Southland Nursing Home is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification means the facility may serve residents whose care is funded through federal Medicare insurance as well as those whose care is covered under the joint federal-state Medicaid program. Individuals and families seeking admission should contact the facility directly to confirm current bed availability, payment options, and any private pay or supplemental insurance arrangements. Compared to the national average overall CMS star rating of 3.0 stars, Southland Nursing Home's overall rating of 5 stars places it above the national benchmark. Its quality measure rating of 5 stars similarly exceeds the national average for that component. The health inspection rating of 4 stars is also above the national average, while the staffing rating of 3 stars aligns with the national average. These ratings provide a standardized reference point for comparing nursing home performance across facilities nationwide, though they represent a snapshot based on specific reporting periods and may not reflect all aspects of a facility's current operations.
