When compared to national benchmarks, Pacific Post Acute presents a mixed profile across the three CMS rating categories. The overall 5-star rating places it well above the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by its strong quality measure score. However, the 2-star staffing rating signals that nurse staffing levels are below what is typical nationally, a factor that may be relevant to those evaluating the day-to-day care capacity of the facility. The health inspection rating of 4 stars is above the national average, reflecting a generally favorable regulatory inspection record.
