The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. West Haven Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation received a 2-star rating in the health inspection category, indicating results that are below average compared to other nursing facilities nationally.

As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, West Haven Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation is authorized to provide services to residents covered under both federal programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services following a qualifying hospital stay. Medicaid coverage applies to eligible individuals requiring long-term custodial care who meet financial and medical criteria established by the state of Connecticut. Individuals and families seeking placement are advised to confirm current bed availability, payment policies, and specific coverage details directly with the facility by contacting them at (203) 654-2100. When considered against national benchmarks, the facility's overall 2-star rating indicates below-average performance across the combined CMS metrics. The health inspection component, also rated 2 stars, is a primary factor contributing to the lower overall score, as health inspections carry significant weight in the CMS rating methodology. The staffing and quality measure components, each at 3 stars, align with national norms but are not sufficient to offset the health inspection results in the composite score. Prospective residents and their families may wish to review the detailed inspection reports available through the CMS Care Compare database for a more thorough understanding of specific findings. The facility serves the West Haven area within South Central Connecticut and remains an active provider within the regional long-term care continuum.
