The facility operates under non-profit ownership and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It maintains 85 certified beds and is currently active as a provider of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 5 out of 5, which places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are calculated using three primary components: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Four County Health and Rehabilitation received a 5-star rating in the health inspection category, indicating a strong survey performance relative to other facilities nationwide. However, the staffing rating stands at 2 stars, which falls below the national average, reflecting lower reported staffing levels relative to resident census. The quality measure rating is also 2 stars, indicating that clinical outcome metrics for this facility are below average when compared to national benchmarks. The overall 5-star rating is a composite figure and may reflect a weighted emphasis on the health inspection component. Four County Health and Rehabilitation accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. This dual certification allows the facility to serve a broad range of residents, including those qualifying for federal health insurance through Medicare as well as individuals enrolled in the joint federal-state Medicaid program. Prospective residents or their families seeking information about private pay options or other financial arrangements should contact the facility directly at (229) 887-2021. When viewed in the context of national data, the facility presents a mixed profile. Its overall 5-star and health inspection 5-star ratings are notably above the national average of 3.0 stars overall. In contrast, the 2-star ratings in both staffing and quality measures indicate areas where performance is below what is observed on average across Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing facilities nationwide. Staffing ratios and quality measures are important considerations when evaluating a facility, as they relate to the number of care hours residents receive and the clinical outcomes reported for the resident population. The CMS Nursing Home Care Compare database serves as the source for this rating information, and ratings are updated periodically as new inspection and reporting data become available.
