Brandel Health and Rehab holds an overall CMS star rating of 5 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns these ratings based on three component domains: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. The facility's health inspection rating is 5 out of 5, reflecting findings from state inspection surveys over the most recent review period. The staffing rating is 4 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that exceed the national average based on reported hours of care per resident per day, including registered nurse and total nursing hours. The quality measure rating is 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average. This domain is calculated using clinical data reported to CMS covering outcomes such as hospitalizations, falls, pressure ulcers, and other resident health indicators. Brandel Health and Rehab is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to eligibility requirements and coverage limits. Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility criteria under Illinois state guidelines. Individuals seeking information about specific coverage and eligibility should consult directly with the facility's admissions staff or a benefits counselor. When compared to national averages, Brandel Health and Rehab presents a mixed profile across its CMS rating components. The overall 5-star rating and 5-star health inspection rating are notably above the national baseline. The staffing rating of 4 stars also surpasses the national average. However, the quality measure rating of 2 stars indicates performance below the national norm in that specific domain, which may be relevant to families and individuals evaluating clinical outcome data as part of a placement decision.
