VALLEY REHABILITATION AND HEALTHCARE CENTER, THE

The Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a for-profit, corporate-owned skilled nursing facility located at 211 E 3rd Ave in Mancos, Colorado, within Montezuma County. The facility operates with 110 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is consistent with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are based on three domain-specific scores: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The Valley Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center receives a 3-star rating in health inspections, indicating performance at the national average for survey findings and deficiencies. The staffing rating stands at 1 star, the lowest possible score, suggesting staffing levels that fall below national norms when adjusted for resident acuity and census. In contrast, the quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible score, reflecting favorable performance across the clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS, such as rates of hospital readmissions, resident functional decline, and other outcome-based metrics. The facility is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, meaning it is able to serve residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation stays following a qualifying hospital admission, while Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial eligibility criteria. Individuals relying on private pay, long-term care insurance, or other funding sources should contact the facility directly for information on accepted payment arrangements. When compared against national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed performance profile. Its overall 3-star rating places it at the national average, but the individual domain scores vary considerably. The 5-star quality measure rating positions the facility among the top-performing facilities nationally on clinical outcomes, while the 1-star staffing rating indicates a notable gap relative to national staffing norms. The health inspection rating at 3 stars reflects average compliance with federal and state survey standards.
