EVERGREEN POST ACUTE

Evergreen Post Acute is a skilled nursing facility located at 3034 South Dupont Blvd in Smyrna, Delaware (Kent County, ZIP 19977). The facility operates 151 certified beds and is classified as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest performance. Evergreen Post Acute holds an overall CMS rating of 3 stars, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating is 2 stars, and the staffing rating is also 2 stars, both of which fall below the national average. The quality measure rating, however, is 5 stars, which is the highest tier available under the CMS rating system. Quality measures reflect clinical outcomes data drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims, covering areas such as mobility, pain management, and rates of hospitalization. Evergreen Post Acute is certified to accept payment through both Medicare and Medicaid programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to specific eligibility criteria and duration limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements under Delaware state guidelines. Individuals and families seeking placement are advised to confirm current bed availability and accepted payment types directly with the facility by contacting them at (302) 653-5085. When compared to national benchmarks, Evergreen Post Acute presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating is on par with the national average, while its health inspection and staffing ratings of 2 stars each indicate performance below the national norm in those specific domains. Conversely, the facility's 5-star quality measure rating places it in the highest category nationally for clinical outcome indicators. This combination of ratings reflects variation across the three component areas that CMS uses to calculate an overall score. Prospective residents and their families may find it useful to review each rating category individually, as the overall star rating does not always capture the full picture of a facility's performance across all measured dimensions.
