How to read GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME's star rating

The CMS overall star rating for GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME is a composite of three separately measured domains: health inspection results from state survey teams, staffing levels reported through payroll-based journal data, and clinical quality measures drawn from resident assessments and Medicare claims. A 3-star overall rating means GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME performs around the national middle. Average overall scores usually come from uneven domain results rather than uniform middling performance, so the domain detail matters more than the headline number.

For GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME, CMS currently publishes 4 out of 5 for health inspections, 2 out of 5 for staffing, 1 out of 5 for quality measures. Health inspection scores are graded on a curve within each state, so this facility's inspection score is a ranking against other Illinois providers rather than an absolute measure. Staffing scores reflect reported nurse hours per resident day, and quality-measure scores reflect resident outcomes such as falls, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.

In local context: the Illinois average is 2.5. GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME rates 3 out of 5, in line with that benchmark. Comparing a facility against its own local market matters because inspection severity, Medicaid reimbursement rates and staffing supply all vary sharply by state.

What GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME's inspection record shows

No deficiency citations for GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME appear in the CMS extract this page is built from. That reflects the records CMS has published for this provider, not an inspection performed by Clear Care Connect, and the federal extract can lag a state survey by several months.

Before you rely on a clean record, ask GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME for the date of its most recent standard survey and for its current CMS Form 2567. Also ask the Illinois survey agency whether any complaint investigations are open, as complaint surveys are logged separately from the standard annual survey cycle.

What nursing home costs near Galena, Illinois

Illinois nursing home typically runs $4,200 to $6,500 per month, a midpoint of roughly $5,350 — about $64,200 a year. This is a state-level market estimate from published rate data for this care type, not a quote from GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME, and it is the single figure on this page that is modelled rather than reported.

Actual pricing at GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME depends on room type, whether the community charges a flat all-inclusive rate or a base rate plus tiered care levels, and one-time community or entrance fees. For skilled nursing, Medicare may cover a limited post-hospital stay in full for the first 20 days and partially through day 100 when the stay qualifies; long-term custodial care is generally paid privately or through Medicaid once assets are spent down.

When you call GALENA STAUSS NURSING HOME, ask for the total monthly figure at the care level being recommended — not the base rate — plus the schedule of annual increases over the last three years and what triggers a move to a higher care tier.
