The quality measures rating is derived from clinical data submitted to CMS and covers a range of outcomes for both long-stay and short-stay residents. Cayuga Nursing and Rehabilitation Center accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as forms of payment, making it accessible to residents who qualify under either federal program. As a dually certified facility, it serves individuals requiring post-acute rehabilitation as well as those needing long-term residential care. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly or consult with a benefits counselor to confirm current coverage details and available payment arrangements. When compared to national benchmarks, Cayuga Nursing and Rehabilitation Center falls below the national average overall star rating of 3.0 stars, with two of its three domain ratings also below that national benchmark. The quality measures category represents the facility's strongest performance area among the three CMS domains. As with all CMS-rated facilities, ratings reflect data from specific reporting periods and may not capture the most recent operational changes. Ratings are updated periodically by CMS and serve as one of several tools available when researching nursing facility options in the Ithaca, New York area.
