The rating system used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services evaluates nursing homes across three primary domains.

The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, reflecting above-average staffing levels relative to national benchmarks, which account for the number of nursing hours provided per resident per day. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score in this category, based on clinical data reported for residents across a range of health outcomes and care indicators. Southland accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Residents or their representatives seeking information about coverage and eligibility are typically directed to contact the facility directly or consult with the relevant federal and state agencies. Private pay and other insurance arrangements may also be applicable depending on individual circumstances. When compared to national averages, Southland presents a mixed profile across the three CMS rating domains. Its overall 2-star rating is below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by the low health inspection score of 1 star. However, the facility's staffing rating of 4 stars and quality measure rating of 5 stars are both above national averages, indicating relative strengths in those specific areas. Individuals reviewing this facility as part of a care decision may wish to examine each domain independently, as the component ratings reflect distinct aspects of facility operation and resident care. State inspection reports, staffing data, and quality measure details are available through the CMS Care Compare database for further reference.
