The facility operates under a non-profit ownership structure and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It has a total of 100 certified beds and is currently active. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is consistent with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Montezuma Health and Rehabilitation received a health inspection rating of 4 stars, indicating performance above the national baseline in that category. Its staffing rating is 2 stars, which falls below the national average and reflects lower staffing levels relative to comparable facilities. The quality measure rating is 1 star, the lowest possible rating in that category, indicating performance below national averages on the clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Montezuma Health and Rehabilitation accepts residents whose care is covered under both federal programs. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover long-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria under Georgia state guidelines. Individuals and families seeking admission are encouraged to verify current coverage details directly with the facility and their respective insurance or benefits administrators. When assessed against national averages, Montezuma Health and Rehabilitation presents a mixed profile across its rated categories. The overall 3-star rating aligns with the national average, suggesting a mid-tier standing among CMS-rated nursing facilities. The 4-star health inspection result places the facility above the national norm in regulatory compliance and survey outcomes. However, the 2-star staffing rating and 1-star quality measure rating represent areas where the facility performs below national benchmarks. These ratings are based on data reported to and verified by CMS and are updated periodically as part of the Nursing Home Compare program. Prospective residents and their representatives may wish to review the full CMS inspection reports and staffing data for additional context when evaluating this facility.
