Mini-Cassia Care Center holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. The facility's component ratings vary considerably across the three measured categories. Its health inspection rating stands at 1 star, representing the lowest possible score and indicating a notably higher number or severity of inspection findings compared to the national average.

The quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible score, indicating that clinical quality outcomes as reported through CMS data compare favorably to facilities nationwide. Mini-Cassia Care Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to residents who rely on federal health insurance programs. Individuals and families exploring coverage options are advised to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor to clarify eligibility, coverage terms, and any applicable private pay requirements. The facility's dual certification status means it serves a broad range of residents across different financial circumstances. When considered in the context of national nursing home data, Mini-Cassia Care Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating places it below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by the 1-star health inspection result. However, its 5-star quality measure rating distinguishes it at the top of the national distribution for clinical outcomes, while its staffing performance is consistent with the national midpoint. Individuals reviewing this facility should consider each rating category independently, as aggregate scores may not fully capture the range of performance across distinct operational dimensions. CMS updates these ratings periodically, and consulting the most current CMS Care Compare data is recommended when making care decisions.
