VISALIA POST ACUTE

Visalia Post Acute is a skilled nursing facility located at 1925 E. Houston Ave in Visalia, California 93292, within Tulare County. The facility operates 176 certified beds and is organized under a for-profit limited liability company ownership structure. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve a broad range of residents requiring post-acute and long-term care. CMS assigns Visalia Post Acute an overall star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. This composite rating draws from three component assessments. The health inspection rating stands at 2 out of 5, reflecting findings from on-site surveys conducted by state inspectors on behalf of CMS. The staffing rating is 3 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that are in line with the national midpoint. The quality measure rating is 4 out of 5, representing performance on clinical indicators such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and use of antipsychotic medications among residents. Each component rating contributes to the overall score, and variation among them can indicate areas of relative strength or concern within facility operations. Visalia Post Acute accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification is relevant for prospective residents and their families when evaluating coverage options. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to defined time and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term stays for individuals who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria under California state guidelines. Individuals seeking information about specific coverage terms are directed to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor. When assessed against national benchmarks, Visalia Post Acute presents a mixed profile. The overall 2-star rating places the facility below the national average, while the health inspection rating of 2 stars similarly reflects performance below the midpoint established by CMS data. In contrast, the staffing rating of 3 stars aligns with national norms, and the quality measure rating of 4 stars positions the facility above average on clinical outcome indicators. These distinctions are relevant for those comparing facilities in the Visalia area or across Tulare County. CMS updates star ratings periodically based on new inspection data, staffing reports, and quality measure calculations, so current ratings represent a snapshot derived from the most recent available data cycle.
