The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are derived from three component domains: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Gateway Health and Rehab received a 5-star rating in the health inspection category, the highest possible rating in this domain, indicating a favorable inspection record relative to other facilities. The staffing rating stands at 1 star, the lowest possible rating, reflecting staffing levels and case-mix adjusted hours that fall below national norms. The quality measure rating is 2 stars, indicating performance on clinical quality indicators that is below the national average. These individual domain scores are weighted and combined to produce the overall 4-star composite rating. Gateway Health and Rehab accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, which broadens access for residents with federal insurance coverage or those who qualify for state assistance programs. Prospective residents and their families should contact the facility directly at (706) 865-5686 to inquire about current bed availability, private pay rates, and any additional insurance arrangements the facility may accommodate. When compared to national benchmarks, Gateway Health and Rehab presents a mixed profile. Its overall 4-star rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars, and its 5-star health inspection score represents a notable strength in regulatory compliance. However, the 1-star staffing rating is a significant contrast, suggesting that the number of nursing hours provided per resident per day may be considerably lower than what is typical nationally. The 2-star quality measure rating indicates that certain clinical outcomes tracked by CMS, such as rates of hospitalization, falls, or pressure ulcers, fall below national norms. Individuals reviewing this facility for placement purposes may wish to weigh these domain-specific distinctions alongside the overall composite rating when making comparisons with other skilled nursing facilities in the Cleveland, Georgia area.
