WABASH SENIOR LIVING & REHAB

Wabash Senior Living & Rehab is a long-term care and rehabilitation facility located at 216 College Boulevard in Carmi, Illinois (ZIP code 62821), in White County. The facility operates as a for-profit limited liability company and holds 156 certified beds. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across four categories: overall, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Wabash Senior Living & Rehab currently holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which is on par with the national average of 3.0 stars. Within the individual rating categories, the facility received a 5-star rating for health inspections, which is the highest possible score and indicates a favorable inspection record relative to other facilities in the state. The staffing rating stands at 1 out of 5, and the quality measure rating is also 1 out of 5, both of which are below the national norm. The staffing rating reflects the levels of nursing staff, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, relative to the number of residents. The quality measure rating is based on clinical indicators drawn from resident assessments. Wabash Senior Living & Rehab is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, meaning it is equipped to serve residents whose care costs are covered under either federal program. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation services following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid covers longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and medical eligibility requirements. Individuals and families seeking placement should verify current bed availability and coverage details directly with the facility and their respective insurance or benefits administrators. When evaluated against national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. Its overall 3-star rating matches the national average, and its 5-star health inspection score represents a meaningful strength relative to peer facilities across the country. However, its 1-star ratings in both staffing and quality measures fall well below what is typical nationally, where average ratings in those categories tend to hover closer to the midpoint. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review all available CMS data and to consult directly with the facility when making care decisions.
