It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve residents under either federal program. Cedarwood Post Acute holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated from three component domains: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. The health inspection rating for this facility is 3 stars, indicating performance at the national average in that category. The staffing rating is also 3 stars, reflecting a similar standing relative to national benchmarks for nurse and staff hours per resident per day.

These indicators include measures related to resident health outcomes, functional status, and hospitalization rates. Cedarwood Post Acute accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, which represents broad coverage for eligible residents. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific conditions and time limitations. Medicaid may cover longer-term care for residents who meet state-specific financial and clinical eligibility criteria. Prospective residents and their families are advised to verify current coverage details directly with the facility and their respective insurance or benefits administrator. When compared to national averages, Cedarwood Post Acute presents a mixed but generally favorable profile. Its overall 4-star rating places it above the national mean. The 5-star quality measure rating is a notable distinction, as it represents the highest tier in that domain and reflects strong performance on CMS-tracked clinical outcomes. The health inspection and staffing ratings, each at 3 stars, align with national averages rather than exceeding them. With 51 certified beds, Cedarwood Post Acute is a smaller facility relative to many skilled nursing providers, which may be a relevant consideration when evaluating care environment and resource allocation. This data is drawn from CMS public reporting and reflects the most recently available survey and administrative information.
