CEDARS HEALTHCARE CENTER

Cedars Healthcare Center is a long-term care facility located at 1599 Ingalls St in Lakewood, Colorado, within Jefferson County. The facility operates with 130 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. Cedars Healthcare Center holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The facility's health inspection rating is 1 out of 5, reflecting findings from recent state and federal surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that are above the national average across nursing and aide staff categories. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score in that category, reflecting performance on clinical outcome metrics tracked by CMS across the resident population. Cedars Healthcare Center is certified to accept payment through both Medicare and Medicaid programs. Individuals seeking placement at this facility may wish to confirm current bed availability and any specific program enrollment details directly with the facility's administrative staff. Private pay and supplemental insurance options may also be applicable depending on individual circumstances. When compared against national averages, the facility presents a mixed profile across its three CMS component ratings. The overall 2-star rating places it below the national benchmark of 3.0 stars, driven in part by a 1-star health inspection score, which is the lowest rating available in that category and suggests a higher number or severity of inspection deficiencies relative to other facilities. In contrast, the staffing and quality measure ratings of 4 and 5 stars, respectively, indicate performance that meets or exceeds national standards in those areas. Prospective residents and families reviewing this facility should consider each component rating individually, as the overall star rating may not fully reflect performance in specific areas such as staffing or clinical quality outcomes. The facility is currently active and operational at its Lakewood location.
