The Wartburg Home

The Wartburg Home is a non-profit, corporation-owned skilled nursing facility located at 1 Wartburg Place in Mount Vernon, New York, within Westchester County. The facility holds 210 certified beds and is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. It operates under a non-profit corporate structure, which distinguishes it from investor-owned facilities in the region. The Wartburg Home carries an overall CMS Five-Star Quality Rating of 5 out of 5, placing it above the national average of 3.0 stars. CMS assigns this composite rating based on three component domains. The health inspection rating stands at 3 stars, reflecting the findings from state inspection surveys conducted on behalf of CMS. The staffing rating is 5 stars, which corresponds to the reported levels of nursing and therapy staff relative to the facility's resident population. The quality measure rating is also 5 stars, based on clinical data points such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, pressure ulcers, and functional decline among residents. Each component rating contributes to the overall score, though the health inspection domain carries particular weight in the CMS methodology. The Wartburg Home accepts both Medicare and Medicaid as payment sources, making it accessible to a broad range of residents with varying financial circumstances. Medicare typically covers short-term skilled nursing care following a qualifying hospital stay, subject to coverage limits and eligibility requirements. Medicaid provides coverage for longer-term custodial care for residents who meet income and asset criteria under New York State guidelines. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (914) 699-0800 to obtain current information regarding private pay rates and any additional coverage options. When assessed against national benchmarks, The Wartburg Home performs above average in two of three CMS rating categories. Its staffing and quality measure ratings of 5 stars each exceed the national norm, while its health inspection rating of 3 stars aligns with the national average. The overall 5-star rating positions this facility among the higher-rated skilled nursing facilities nationally according to CMS data. As with all CMS ratings, these figures are based on reported data and periodic survey cycles, and may not capture all aspects of care at a given point in time.
