The facility operates 92 certified beds and is owned by a non-profit corporation. It is an active provider participating in both federal health insurance programs. CMS assigns star ratings to nursing facilities across five categories: overall performance, health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Salem Crossing holds a 5-star overall rating, which represents the highest tier in the CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System. The health inspection rating is 5 stars, and the quality measure rating is also 5 stars. The staffing rating is 2 stars, which falls below the national average. The national average for overall star ratings is 3.0 stars, making Salem Crossing's overall rating notably above that benchmark. The staffing rating of 2 stars indicates that staffing levels, as reported to CMS, are below what is typical among rated facilities nationally. Salem Crossing accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources. This dual certification allows the facility to serve residents who rely on federal health insurance through Medicare, as well as those who qualify for the joint federal and state Medicaid program. Prospective residents or their representatives should contact the facility directly at 812-883-1877 to confirm current bed availability, specific coverage details, and any applicable out-of-pocket costs. Payment structures and coverage can vary depending on the level of care required and the duration of a resident's stay. When compared to national averages, Salem Crossing presents a mixed profile across CMS rating categories. The overall 5-star rating and the 5-star ratings in both health inspections and quality measures place the facility well above the national average of 3.0 stars in those areas. The 2-star staffing rating, however, indicates performance below the national norm in that specific category. Staffing ratings are calculated based on data submitted by facilities and reflect factors such as registered nurse hours per resident per day and total nursing hours.
