GRAHAM HOSPITAL

Graham Hospital is a skilled nursing facility located at 210 West Walnut Street in Canton, Illinois, within Fulton County. The facility operates 35 certified beds and is classified under non-profit ownership. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid patients, making it eligible for residents who rely on either federal program for coverage. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 5 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are derived from three primary data components, each of which is reported separately. Graham Hospital receives a 5-star rating in health inspections, reflecting the results of state and federal surveys conducted on-site. The staffing rating is also 5 stars, indicating reported staffing levels relative to the resident census. The quality measure rating, which is based on clinical outcome data across multiple health indicators, is 3 stars, placing that component at the national average. As a Medicare and Medicaid certified facility, Graham Hospital is able to serve residents funded through either program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to defined eligibility criteria and time limits. Medicaid coverage for long-term nursing care is available to residents who meet the financial and clinical eligibility requirements set by the state of Illinois. Families and individuals seeking placement should confirm current bed availability and specific coverage details directly with the facility, as program eligibility and individual circumstances vary. In terms of national comparison, Graham Hospital's overall 5-star rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection and staffing components each score at the highest level on the CMS scale, while the quality measure component aligns with the national average at 3 stars. The facility's 35 certified beds reflect a smaller operational scale compared to many nursing facilities across the country.
