COLUSA MEDICAL CENTER - SNF

Colusa Medical Center SNF is a skilled nursing facility located at 199 E Webster Street in Colusa, California, within Colusa County. The facility operates as a for-profit limited liability company and holds certification for both Medicare and Medicaid. It is a small facility with 6 certified beds, making it one of the more limited-capacity skilled nursing units in the state. The facility has received an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are calculated using three primary components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Colusa Medical Center SNF received a 5-star rating for health inspections, the highest possible score in that category, reflecting a strong survey performance relative to other facilities. The staffing rating, however, is 1 star out of 5, indicating staffing levels that fall below national benchmarks. A quality measure rating was not available for this facility at the time the data was collected, which may reflect its small size and limited reportable patient volume. The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, in addition to other payment arrangements that may be negotiated directly with the facility. Prospective patients and their families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (530) 691-0800 to discuss specific coverage options, admission criteria, and any cost-related questions. Given its dual Medicare and Medicaid certification, the facility is available to a range of patients, including those covered under federal and state insurance programs. When compared to national averages, Colusa Medical Center SNF presents a mixed data profile. Its overall 4-star rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars, and its 5-star health inspection score is a notable indicator within CMS reporting. However, the 1-star staffing rating represents a significant gap relative to the national norm, and the absence of a quality measure rating limits a full comparative assessment. Facilities with very few certified beds, such as this one with only 6, often face unique reporting constraints that can affect the completeness of CMS data. This context is relevant when interpreting the available ratings for this facility.
