THE PARAMOUNT AT SOMERS REHAB AND NURSING CENTER

The Paramount at Somers Rehab and Nursing Center is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility located on Route 100 in Somers, New York, within Westchester County. The facility operates with 300 certified beds and is classified under for-profit ownership as a limited liability company. It is certified to accept both Medicare and Medicaid residents. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) assigns star ratings to nursing facilities on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 representing the highest performance. The Paramount at Somers carries an overall CMS star rating of 2 out of 5, which falls below the national average of 3.0 stars. The health inspection rating stands at 1 out of 5, indicating a record of inspection findings that places the facility among the lower-performing tier nationally. The staffing rating is also 1 out of 5, reflecting staffing levels that are below the national benchmark when measured against the facility's resident census. In contrast, the quality measure rating is 5 out of 5, the highest possible score in that category, which reflects clinical outcome metrics such as rates of hospitalizations, falls, and pressure ulcers among the resident population. This divergence between the quality measure rating and the inspection and staffing ratings is a notable characteristic of this facility's CMS profile. The Paramount at Somers is certified to participate in both the Medicare and Medicaid programs, meaning it may accept residents whose care is funded through either federal program. Individuals whose funding sources include private pay or private insurance should confirm coverage and admissions criteria directly with the facility. Payment and insurance arrangements are subject to individual circumstances and facility policies. When compared against national averages, 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 ratings in health inspections and staffing. These lower ratings in those two domains indicate areas that CMS has identified as below standard relative to peer facilities. However, the 5-star quality measure rating represents the highest achievable score in that category, suggesting that certain measurable clinical outcomes at the facility perform at a level that meets or exceeds national benchmarks. Prospective residents, families, and healthcare professionals reviewing this facility may wish to consider all four rating categories together, as well as any supplementary inspection reports available through the CMS Care Compare database, to form a comprehensive understanding of the facility's performance record.
