The quality measure rating is also 4 stars, reflecting above-average performance on clinical outcome and care process indicators tracked by CMS.

This includes measures such as registered nurse hours, total nurse staffing hours, and physical therapy staffing per resident per day. Willows Post Acute accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who qualify under either federal program. Individuals and families seeking placement at this facility may wish to confirm current bed availability, specific covered services, and any applicable out-of-pocket costs directly with the facility's admissions staff. Private pay and supplemental insurance arrangements may also be applicable depending on individual coverage. When viewed in the context of national benchmarks, Willows Post Acute presents a mixed profile across its CMS rating components. Its overall 3-star rating matches the national average, but the breakdown reveals notable variation. The 4-star ratings in both health inspections and quality measures indicate performance that exceeds typical national levels in those areas. The 1-star staffing rating is a significant departure from the national average and may be a relevant consideration for those evaluating the facility's care capacity. Staffing levels are a key factor in the quality of day-to-day care in skilled nursing environments, and CMS uses staffing data reported by facilities as well as payroll-based records to calculate this component.
