Elk Grove Post Acute

Elk Grove Post Acute is a skilled nursing facility located at 9461 Batey Avenue in Elk Grove, California, within Sacramento County. The facility operates with 136 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are derived from three component domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Elk Grove Post Acute received a 1-star rating in health inspections, the lowest possible score in that category, indicating a higher number or severity of citations relative to other facilities. Its staffing rating of 4 stars is above the national average and reflects the relative levels of nursing staff hours provided per resident per day. The quality measure rating of 5 stars is the highest achievable score in that category and reflects performance on clinical outcome indicators tracked by CMS, such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and pressure ulcers among the resident population. Elk Grove Post Acute is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term nursing facility care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria as determined by the state of California. Individuals seeking information about coverage specifics are advised to consult directly with the facility or the relevant state and federal agencies. When considered alongside national benchmarks, Elk Grove Post Acute presents a mixed profile across its rated domains. Its overall 2-star rating is below the national average, driven in part by its 1-star health inspection score. However, its staffing rating of 4 stars and quality measure rating of 5 stars each exceed typical national performance levels. The variation across these three components reflects the distinct nature of what each domain measures, and prospective residents or their families may wish to weigh each rating separately based on their specific priorities and circumstances.
