SPLIT ROCK REHABILITION AND HEALTH CARE CENTER

Split Rock Rehabilitation and Health Care Center is a long-term care and rehabilitation facility located at 3525 Baychester Ave in the Bronx, New York (10466). The facility operates 240 certified beds and is organized as a for-profit limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. CMS assigns Split Rock Rehabilitation and Health Care Center an overall star rating of 5 out of 5, placing it above the national average of 3.0 stars. This overall rating is derived from three component ratings. The health inspection rating stands at 4 out of 5, reflecting the outcomes of state and federal surveys conducted at the facility. The staffing rating is 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average and indicates lower staffing levels relative to the resident population when compared to other facilities nationwide. The quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score, reflecting performance on clinical quality indicators tracked by CMS across areas such as resident mobility, pain management, and infection control. Split Rock Rehabilitation and Health Care Center holds dual certification under both Medicare and Medicaid programs. This means the facility is able to serve residents whose care is funded through the federal Medicare program, which typically covers short-term skilled nursing and rehabilitation stays, as well as residents whose care is funded through Medicaid, the joint federal and state program serving individuals who meet income and asset eligibility requirements. Individuals and families seeking placement should confirm current bed availability and specific coverage details directly with the facility and relevant insurers or benefit coordinators. When reviewed against national benchmarks, Split Rock Rehabilitation and Health Care Center presents a mixed profile across its component ratings. The overall 5-star rating and the 5-star quality measure rating both exceed the national average, while the 2-star staffing rating falls below it. The health inspection rating of 4 stars is above average. The staffing component, which CMS calculates using data on registered nurse hours, total nurse staffing hours, and physical therapist staffing per resident per day, is a notable area of differentiation from the facility's otherwise strong ratings. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to review all available CMS data, including detailed inspection reports and staffing hours data published on the CMS Care Compare tool, when evaluating this or any skilled nursing facility.
