The facility holds an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS ratings are calculated using three component categories: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures. Meridian Rehabilitation and Health Care Center received a 1-star rating in health inspections, indicating performance in that category that is among the lower tier nationally. The staffing rating is 3 stars, aligning with the national average and reflecting moderate staffing levels relative to peer facilities. The quality measure rating is 5 stars, representing performance in the highest tier for that category. Quality measures assess clinical outcomes and resident care indicators drawn from standardized assessment data.

This dual certification means the facility is available to residents who qualify under either federal program. Prospective residents or responsible parties should contact the facility directly at (316) 942-8471 to inquire about private pay options, specific insurance acceptance, and current bed availability. When considered alongside national benchmarks, the facility presents a mixed profile. The overall 2-star rating is below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by the 1-star health inspection result, which represents a notable area of concern relative to peer facilities across the country. However, the 5-star quality measure rating indicates that on standardized clinical and care outcome metrics, the facility performs at the highest national level. The 3-star staffing rating places the facility at the national midpoint for that dimension.
