The facility operates 61 certified beds and is classified under government ownership at the county level. It is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, making it eligible to serve a broad range of residents requiring long-term or post-acute care. The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 4 out of 5, which is above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are calculated based on three component categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. West River Health Campus received a health inspection rating of 3 stars, indicating performance at the national average in that category. The staffing rating is also 3 stars, similarly reflecting average performance relative to national benchmarks. The quality measure rating is 5 stars, the highest possible score, indicating that the facility performs at a notably high level across the clinical quality metrics tracked by CMS for this category. These three component ratings combine to produce the overall 4-star rating. West River Health Campus accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, consistent with its dual certification status. This means the facility may be accessible to residents who qualify for federal Medicare benefits, including those recovering from a qualifying hospital stay, as well as individuals who qualify for state and federal Medicaid assistance based on financial eligibility. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (812) 985-9878 to confirm current payment acceptance, bed availability, and any additional coverage considerations. In the context of national data, West River Health Campus compares favorably overall. Its 4-star overall rating places it above the national average of 3.0 stars. The 5-star quality measure rating is a notable distinction, as relatively few facilities achieve this top score in that category. The health inspection and staffing ratings, both at 3 stars, are consistent with national norms and do not represent notable deviation in either direction. As a county-operated government facility with 61 certified beds, West River Health Campus represents a smaller-scale option within the Evansville area for individuals seeking Medicare- or Medicaid-covered skilled nursing care.
