The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are derived from three component measures: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures.

Alt Gardens Care Center is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid payment, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal or state insurance programs to fund their long-term or post-acute care. Individuals with private insurance or personal funds may also be eligible for admission, though specific coverage questions should be directed to the facility's admissions staff. As a dually certified facility, it is subject to federal oversight and regular health inspections conducted by state survey agencies on behalf of CMS. When compared against national performance averages, Alta Gardens Care Center presents a mixed but generally favorable profile. Its overall 4-star rating exceeds the national average of 3.0 stars, driven largely by its top-rated quality measure score. Health inspection and staffing ratings each fall at the midpoint of the 5-star scale, consistent with average performance nationally in those areas. Prospective residents and their families consulting this data should consider all three component ratings alongside other facility-specific factors when making care decisions. CMS star ratings are updated periodically and reflect data collected through federal and state reporting processes.
