It is certified as a Medicaid facility and remains actively enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The Royal Home holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is consistent with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The facility's health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, indicating performance in line with national norms for that category.

In contrast, the quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible score, indicating that clinical quality outcomes reported for this facility compare favorably against national benchmarks. Regarding payment and insurance, The Royal Home is certified to accept Medicaid as a form of payment.

Eligibility and coverage specifics vary depending on individual circumstances and applicable state and federal guidelines. When considered in the context of national performance data, The Royal Home presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating places it at the national average, while its 5-star quality measure rating is a notable data point, representing the top tier of performance in that domain. However, the 1-star staffing rating indicates a measurable gap compared to the national average for staffing. With only 19 certified beds, The Royal Home is a smaller facility by national standards, which can influence both staffing ratios and inspection outcomes. Individuals reviewing this facility should consider all available CMS data alongside direct consultations with facility staff when evaluating care options.
