Is Delta South Nursing & Rehabilitation a good nursing home? Reviews, ratings and inspection record

CMS rates it 4 out of 5 stars overall, above the Missouri average of 2.6. Inspectors issued 24 citations in the last three years. CMS reports no fines or payment denials in that time. For short-term rehab patients CMS rates quality 2 out of 5; for long-term residents, 4 out of 5. Those results differ a lot, so ask about the unit your family member would be on.

Paying for care at Delta South Nursing & Rehabilitation: Medicare and Medicaid

Delta South Nursing & Rehabilitation is certified for both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare Part A can cover a short skilled-nursing or rehab stay here after a qualifying hospital stay of at least three inpatient days (observation days don't count), for up to 100 days per benefit period. Medicaid can pay for long-term care for residents who meet Missouri's income and asset rules.
