Meadowood Nursing Center is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and time limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term nursing facility care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria under California's Medi-Cal program. Individuals and families seeking information about coverage and eligibility are advised to consult directly with the facility or the appropriate state and federal agencies. When considered in the context of national benchmarks, Meadowood Nursing Center presents a mixed profile. The overall rating of 1 star and the individual ratings for health inspections and staffing fall below the national average of 3.0 stars. The quality measure rating of 4 stars, however, indicates performance above the national average in that specific category. This divergence between rating categories is not uncommon among nursing facilities and may reflect differences in how various components of facility operations are assessed. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review all available CMS data, visit the facility directly, and consult with healthcare professionals when evaluating nursing care options in the Clearlake, California area.
