Medicaid eligibility and coverage terms vary by individual circumstance and are determined through the appropriate state and federal channels. When viewed in the context of national benchmarks, Humboldt House presents a mixed performance profile. Its overall 2-star rating places it below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven in part by its 1-star health inspection rating. However, the facility's 5-star quality measure rating is a notable distinction, as this score reflects the highest tier of clinical performance data tracked by CMS, including measures related to resident outcomes such as mobility, medication management, and hospitalization rates. The 3-star staffing rating indicates that staffing levels are in line with national norms.
