MERIDIAN VILLAGE CARE CENTER

Meridian Village Care Center is a skilled nursing facility located at 27 Auerbach Place in Glen Carbon, Illinois (ZIP code 62034), within Madison County. The facility operates under non-profit, church-related ownership and holds certification for both Medicare and Medicaid. It has a total of 70 certified beds. Meridian Village Care Center has received a 5-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is the highest possible rating in the CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System. This composite rating reflects performance across three individual rating categories. The health inspection rating stands at 5 stars, representing the highest tier for that domain. The staffing rating also received 5 stars, indicating staffing levels that CMS data places among the highest measured. The quality measure rating is 4 stars, one level below the maximum, reflecting clinical outcome and care process measures reported for the resident population. The national average overall CMS star rating for skilled nursing facilities is 3.0 stars, providing a reference point for contextualizing the ratings above. As a facility certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, Meridian Village Care Center accepts patients covered under the federal Medicare program as well as those whose care is funded through the joint federal-state Medicaid program. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current payment policies, bed availability, and any applicable private pay requirements directly with the facility. The facility can be reached by phone at (618) 288-3700. When compared to the national average overall rating of 3.0 stars, Meridian Village Care Center's 5-star overall rating places it above the national benchmark across each of the primary CMS rating dimensions examined. The health inspection and staffing categories both reached the 5-star threshold, while the quality measure category reached 4 stars. The facility's non-profit, church-related ownership structure is a characteristic that distinguishes it from for-profit operators, though ownership type alone does not determine quality outcomes. With 70 certified beds, the facility is relatively modest in size compared to larger nursing home operations, which can be a factor in care environment and staffing ratios. All CMS ratings are based on data reported to and verified by the federal government and are updated periodically to reflect current inspection results, staffing submissions, and quality measure reporting.
