Courtyard Care Center holds both Medicare and Medicaid certification, meaning it is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to specific eligibility criteria and coverage limits.

When viewed in the context of national performance data, Courtyard Care Center presents a mixed profile. The overall 3-star rating places it at the national average. The quality measure rating of 5 stars represents a notable strength, indicating that clinical outcomes tracked by CMS are performed at a high level relative to other facilities nationally. The health inspection rating of 2 stars indicates below-average performance in that domain, which may reflect the number, scope, or severity of deficiencies identified during inspections. The staffing rating of 3 stars suggests workforce levels consistent with national norms.
