The facility operates with 64 certified beds and is owned and operated as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal and state insurance programs for their care needs. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities based on three core domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Golden Madera Care Center holds an overall CMS rating of 4 out of 5 stars. This rating is composed of a 4-star health inspection rating, a 4-star staffing rating, and a 4-star quality measure rating. The national average overall rating is 3.0 stars, providing a baseline for contextual comparison. Each domain rating is derived from standardized data collected and published by CMS as part of the Nursing Home Compare program. The health inspection rating reflects results from onsite inspections conducted by state survey agencies on behalf of CMS. These inspections assess compliance with federal health and safety standards. The staffing rating is based on the number of nursing hours provided per resident per day, adjusted for the acuity level of residents in the facility. The quality measure rating reflects performance on a set of clinical indicators that assess resident health outcomes and care processes. Golden Madera 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 criteria and duration limits. Medicaid, administered jointly by the federal government and the state of California, may cover long-term care costs for residents who meet income and asset eligibility requirements. Individuals and families seeking placement are advised to contact the facility directly at (559) 673-9278 to confirm current bed availability, accepted payment types, and any additional private pay or insurance options. In comparison to national benchmarks, Golden Madera Care Center performs above the national average across all four CMS rating categories. The national overall average of 3.0 stars serves as the midpoint for evaluating relative performance among Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing facilities nationwide. Facilities in California are subject to state-specific inspection protocols and staffing regulations, which may influence how ratings are calculated and interpreted relative to facilities in other states.
