The facility operates with 161 certified beds and is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients. It can be reached by phone at (203) 830-4180. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of one to five stars across four categories: overall rating, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Bethel Health Care Center holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. The facility received a 4-star rating for health inspections, reflecting the outcomes of state and federal inspection surveys conducted at the facility. Its staffing rating stands at 3 stars, representing a rating at the national average. The quality measure rating, which is based on clinical data regarding resident health outcomes, is rated at 4 stars, also above the national average. Bethel Health Care Center is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning the facility is able to accept residents whose care is funded through either of these federal and state programs. Individuals whose care is funded privately or through long-term care insurance may also be eligible for admission, though prospective residents and their families are encouraged to contact the facility directly to confirm current payment options and availability. When compared to the national average overall CMS rating of 3.0 stars, Bethel Health Care Center performs above average in three of the four rating categories: overall rating, health inspections, and quality measures. The staffing rating of 3 stars is consistent with the national norm. These ratings are based on data collected and published by CMS through the Nursing Home Care Compare program and are updated periodically as new inspection and staffing data become available. Rating information should be considered alongside other factors when evaluating a skilled nursing facility, and direct contact with the facility is recommended for the most current information regarding services, staffing, and bed availability.
