The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 3 out of 5, which aligns with the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS star ratings are assigned by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services based on three primary data categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Apostolic Christian Home received a health inspection rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average. Its staffing rating is 5 out of 5, indicating staffing levels that exceed national norms. The quality measure rating is 3 out of 5, consistent with the national average. These individual ratings are combined through a weighted methodology to produce the overall 3-star rating. As a facility certified for both Medicare and Medicaid, Apostolic Christian Home is able to serve residents whose care costs are covered through either federal program. Medicare typically provides coverage for short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, while Medicaid may cover longer-term custodial care for residents who meet financial and clinical eligibility requirements. Individuals and families seeking placement should verify current coverage and availability directly with the facility and the relevant insurance or benefits programs. When compared to national benchmarks, Apostolic Christian Home presents a mixed profile across its three rating components. The 5-star staffing rating is notably above average and reflects measured staffing inputs as reported to CMS. The 2-star health inspection rating places the facility below the national average in that category, as inspection results are based on findings from state surveys and complaint investigations conducted over a three-year period. The 3-star quality measure rating indicates performance at the national average across the clinical quality metrics tracked by CMS, which include outcomes such as rates of resident hospitalizations, use of antipsychotic medications, and functional status. The overall 3-star rating reflects the combined effect of these component scores, placing the facility at the national average overall.
