The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across several categories, with ratings ranging from 1 to 5 stars and a national average overall rating of 3.0 stars. Cascadia of Lewiston holds an overall CMS rating of 2 stars, which falls below the national average. The health inspection rating stands at 2 stars, also below the national average, reflecting findings from standard federal and state inspection surveys. The staffing rating is 1 star, the lowest possible rating, indicating staffing levels that are below what CMS considers average for facilities of this type. In contrast, the quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible rating, representing performance on clinical quality indicators such as rates of hospitalization, medication use, and resident functional outcomes. Cascadia of Lewiston is a Medicare-certified facility, meaning it is eligible to receive reimbursement for covered services provided to Medicare beneficiaries who meet qualifying conditions. Facilities certified by Medicare are subject to federal standards and undergo regular health and safety inspections. Individuals whose care may be covered through Medicaid, private insurance, or private pay arrangements should contact the facility directly to confirm accepted payment sources and current availability. When compared to national benchmarks, Cascadia of Lewiston presents a mixed profile. The 5-star quality measure rating places the facility among the top-performing nursing homes in the country on tracked clinical outcomes, which is notably above the national average. However, the overall 2-star rating, the 2-star health inspection rating, and the 1-star staffing rating each fall below the national average of 3.0 stars. This combination suggests that while the facility demonstrates strong results on certain clinical metrics, its inspection history and staffing levels may warrant closer review by those researching care options. CMS star ratings are intended to provide a starting point for comparison and do not represent a comprehensive assessment of any individual facility's suitability for a specific resident's needs.
