ROSS MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE CTR

Ross Memorial Health Care Center is a licensed skilled nursing facility located at 1780 Old Highway 41 in Kennesaw, Georgia (ZIP 30152), within Cobb County. The facility operates 100 certified beds and is classified under for-profit, individually owned ownership. It is certified to serve both Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. The facility holds a 5-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are derived from three component domains. The health inspection rating stands at 4 stars, reflecting the outcomes of standard state inspections and complaint investigations. The staffing rating is 2 stars, indicating staffing levels that fall below the national average when adjusted for resident acuity. The quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest tier available, based on clinical outcome indicators drawn from resident assessment data. The overall rating is a composite that weighs all three components, with health inspections carrying the greatest influence in the final calculation. Ross Memorial Health Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal or joint federal-state insurance programs. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current bed availability and specific covered services directly with the facility, as payment arrangements and service offerings may change over time. The facility's phone number is (770) 427-7256. When compared to national benchmarks, Ross Memorial Health Care Center presents a mixed profile across its component ratings. The 5-star overall and 5-star quality measure ratings are in the highest category nationally, while the 4-star health inspection rating is above average. The 2-star staffing rating, however, falls below the national midpoint. Staffing levels in skilled nursing facilities are measured in terms of registered nurse hours, total nurse aide hours, and physical therapist hours per resident per day, all adjusted for the clinical complexity of the resident population. Lower staffing ratings do not reflect a specific deficiency finding but rather indicate that measured staffing hours were lower than what CMS models as expected for the facility's case mix. Prospective residents and their representatives may request detailed staffing and inspection reports through the CMS Care Compare database for further review.
