The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 5 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Residence receives a 5-star rating in both the health inspection and staffing categories.

Little Sisters of the Poor Sacred Heart Residence is certified to accept payment through both Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a non-profit facility, it operates under a corporate structure that reinvests resources into its operations rather than distributing profits to shareholders or private owners. Prospective residents and their families should contact the facility directly at (251) 476-6335 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and specific insurance or payment arrangements. When compared against national benchmarks, this facility presents a mixed profile. Its overall 5-star rating, along with 5-star ratings in health inspections and staffing, indicates performance well above the national average in those domains. However, the quality measure rating of 2 stars falls below the national average, suggesting that certain clinical outcome indicators tracked by CMS are not performing at the same level as the facility's inspection and staffing scores. The quality measure domain encompasses metrics such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, pressure ulcers, and other resident health outcomes. Families and healthcare professionals reviewing this facility should consider all three component ratings alongside the overall score when making care placement decisions.
