The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5, where higher ratings indicate better performance relative to other facilities. St Anthony Care Center holds an overall CMS star rating of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is informed by three individual component ratings. The health inspection rating is 5 stars, reflecting the outcomes of standard and complaint inspections conducted by state surveyors. The quality measure rating is 4 stars, based on clinical data reported by the facility covering areas such as resident mobility, medication management, and other care outcomes. The staffing rating is 2 stars, which falls below the national average and reflects the levels of nursing staff hours per resident per day, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants. St Anthony Care Center accepts 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 coverage limits.

When compared to the national average overall rating of 3.0 stars, St Anthony Care Center performs above average in its composite score. The health inspection component at 5 stars represents strong performance in state survey outcomes, while the quality measure rating of 4 stars indicates above-average performance on reported clinical indicators. The staffing rating of 2 stars, however, is below the national average, which may be a relevant consideration when evaluating the facility. This combination of ratings reflects a mixed performance profile across the three measured domains, with notable strength in inspection and quality outcomes alongside lower relative staffing levels.
