PROVIDENCE SEWARD MOUNTAIN HAVEN

Providence Seward Mountain Haven is a government-owned, city-operated skilled nursing facility located at 2203 Oak Street in Seward, Alaska, within Kenai Peninsula County. The facility is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid and maintains 40 certified beds. As a city-government entity, it operates under public administration rather than private or nonprofit ownership. The facility holds an overall CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of 3 stars, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. This composite rating draws from three component measures. The health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, reflecting survey findings from state and federal inspectors. The staffing rating is 4 stars, indicating staffing levels that are above the national average across nursing and aide categories. The quality measure rating is also 4 stars, based on clinical data reporting outcomes such as resident mobility, medication use, and other care indicators. The staffing and quality measure ratings each exceed the national norm, while the health inspection rating is at the national average. Providence Seward Mountain Haven accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification means the facility is available to residents who qualify for federal Medicare benefits, including those requiring short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation services, as well as to longer-term residents whose care is funded through the Medicaid program. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current bed availability and specific coverage details directly with the facility, as payment arrangements and program availability can change. When compared to national benchmarks, Providence Seward Mountain Haven presents a mixed but generally average-to-above-average profile. Its overall 3-star rating matches the national average, but its staffing and quality measure components, both rated at 4 stars, place it above the norm in those areas. The facility serves a rural coastal community in southcentral Alaska, a geographic context that may be relevant when assessing care access and staffing logistics. With 40 certified beds, it is a smaller facility relative to the national median, which can influence care ratios and operational characteristics. This data is drawn from CMS reporting and reflects the most recent available survey and certification records.
