CMS Five-Star Quality Rating

CMS has not published a star rating for this facility. Ratings are withheld when a facility is too new or treats too few patients for CMS to score it reliably — common for pediatric and hospital-based dialysis units.

Source: CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System for dialysis facilities, based on clinical quality measures such as patient survival, hospitalizations, transfusions, and dialysis adequacy. This is CMS's own rating, shown exactly as published — CareRanks does not adjust or re-weight it. How CMS calculates these ratings ↗

Services

Evening shifts Not offered

A dialysis shift starting after 5 p.m. — useful for patients who work during the day.
In-center hemodialysis Offered

Hemodialysis performed at the facility, typically three sessions a week.
Peritoneal dialysis Offered

A home-based option that uses the lining of the abdomen to filter blood.
Home hemodialysis training Not offered

Trains patients (and care partners) to run hemodialysis at home.

Services as reported to CMS by the facility. Call ahead to confirm — shift schedules and home-training availability can change.

Clinical Outcomes

Where CMS publishes its own comparison — Better than Expected, As Expected, or Worse than Expected — it is shown verbatim. National averages come from CMS's national dialysis file; for measures without a CMS comparison, we show the national average without a verdict.

Dialysis adequacy (Kt/V)

90% of adult in-center hemodialysis patients reached the Kt/V target of at least 1.2

National average: 97%

Based on 69 patients.

Kt/V measures how thoroughly a dialysis session cleans the blood. CMS publishes no better/worse comparison for this measure.
Fistula in use
As Expected

55.9% of patients dialyzed through an arteriovenous fistula

National average: 57.1%

Based on 77 patients.

A fistula — a surgical connection using the patient’s own blood vessels — is the vascular access clinicians generally consider to carry the lowest infection risk.
Long-term catheter use

27% of adult patients used a catheter for 90 days or longer

National average: 19%

Based on 77 patients.

Catheters left in place long-term carry a higher infection risk than a fistula or graft. CMS publishes no better/worse comparison for this measure.

Measures and comparison labels are from CMS Dialysis Facility Care Compare. CMS risk-adjusts survival, hospitalization, readmission, and infection measures for patient mix, so facilities treating sicker patients are not penalized for it.
