In contrast, the facility earns a 5-star rating in quality measures, the highest possible score in that category.

Willows of Shelbyville accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment. As a dually certified facility, it serves residents whose care may be covered under either federal program. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current bed availability, specific covered services, and any applicable private-pay requirements directly with the facility's admissions staff. When considered against national benchmarks, Willows of Shelbyville presents a mixed profile. Its overall 2-star rating places it below the national average, and its 1-star staffing rating indicates staffing levels that are notably lower than what is seen in the average U.S. nursing facility. However, its 5-star quality measure rating stands out as a strength relative to national norms, suggesting favorable clinical outcome performance in the measures tracked by CMS. The health inspection rating of 2 stars also falls below the national average, reflecting inspection findings that are less favorable than those of a typical facility nationwide.
