PIONEER HOUSE

Pioneer House is a skilled nursing facility located at 415 P Street in Sacramento, California 95814. The facility operates 50 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit Limited Liability Company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. Pioneer House holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated using data across three primary domains. The health inspection rating for this facility is 2 out of 5, reflecting results from state and federal inspection surveys conducted on-site. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that are above the national average in terms of nursing hours per resident per day. The quality measure rating is also 4 out of 5, which is based on clinical data reported for residents in areas such as mobility, medication use, and hospital readmissions. The overall 2-star rating is a composite figure that weighs all three domains, with health inspections carrying the most influence in the final calculation. Pioneer House is certified to accept payment through both Medicare and Medicaid programs. This dual certification means the facility is available to residents who qualify under federal Medicare coverage, typically for short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, as well as residents who qualify for Medicaid, which covers longer-term nursing home care for those who meet income and asset eligibility requirements. Individuals and families are encouraged to confirm current payment policies and bed availability directly with the facility by contacting them at (916) 442-4906. When comparing Pioneer House to national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating places it below the national average of 3.0 stars, largely influenced by its 2-star health inspection rating. However, both its staffing rating and quality measure rating of 4 stars each are above the national average, indicating stronger performance in those specific domains. This disparity suggests that while direct care staffing and certain clinical outcome measures are comparatively strong, the facility's inspection history has contributed to a lower composite score. Consumers and care coordinators reviewing this facility should consider each domain independently alongside the overall rating when making care placement decisions.
