This composite rating draws from three component scores. The health inspection rating stands at 2 out of 5, falling below the national average and reflecting findings from recent state and federal inspection surveys. The staffing rating is also 2 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that are below average relative to national benchmarks. In contrast, the quality measure rating reaches 5 out of 5, the highest possible score, reflecting strong performance on clinical quality indicators such as rates of hospital readmission, use of antipsychotic medications, and physical function outcomes. CMS star ratings are updated periodically and are intended to provide a general reference point for comparing facilities. Falcon Heights Rehabilitation and Nursing LLC is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to specific eligibility conditions and time limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Individuals seeking specific information about coverage, costs, or admission requirements should contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor. When considered alongside national data, Falcon Heights presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating aligns with the national average, but the component ratings show notable variation. The 5-star quality measure score places the facility in a strong position relative to most nursing homes nationwide on clinical outcome indicators. However, the 2-star ratings for both health inspections and staffing suggest areas where performance falls below the national norm. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review the full CMS Care Compare report for detailed inspection findings and staffing data before drawing conclusions about care quality.
