Sacramento, CA — [22 April, 2026] — ACC Senior Services is proud to announce that the ACC Care Center, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, has been awarded a 4-star rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a significant recognition of the organization’s commitment to high-quality care and continuous improvement in skilled nursing services.
The CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System is a nationally recognized benchmark designed to help families evaluate nursing homes based on quality and performance. Ratings are determined through a comprehensive assessment that includes health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures such as patient outcomes and care practices. Facilities are rated on a scale of one to five stars, with five being the highest.
A 4-star rating indicates
above-average performance and reflects strong results across key areas, including successful health inspections, effective staffing, and measurable improvements in resident care and safety.
“I’m excited and proud to share an incredible accomplishment — our facility has achieved a 4-star rating,” said Heidi Wheeler, LVN, ACC Care Center Administrator. “A 4-star rating is not just a number — it represents improved outcomes, strong survey performance, and a culture of accountability.
