The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 1 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings based on three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Apple Rehab Rocky Hill received a 2-star rating in health inspections, a 1-star rating in staffing, and a 1-star rating in quality measures. The health inspection rating reflects findings from standard surveys and complaint investigations conducted by the state.

The quality measure rating is derived from clinical data reported for long-stay and short-stay residents, covering areas such as mobility, medication use, and infection rates. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Apple Rehab Rocky Hill accepts residents whose care is funded through either program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation stays following a qualifying hospital admission, subject to defined eligibility requirements. Medicaid provides coverage for longer-term custodial care for residents who meet both clinical and financial eligibility criteria. Individuals seeking admission should verify current coverage, bed availability, and any applicable insurance requirements directly with the facility by contacting them at (860) 529-8661. When compared to national benchmarks, Apple Rehab Rocky Hill falls below average across multiple rating dimensions. The national average overall star rating is 3.0 stars, and this facility's overall rating of 1 star indicates performance at the lower end of the CMS five-star scale. The staffing and quality measure ratings of 1 star similarly reflect below-average performance in those domains relative to nursing facilities nationwide.
