This honor places us in an elite group – with only six communities achieving this level of excellence within a 25-mile radius of our community. Read more about this distinction and what it means below.
Why was the CMS quality rating system developed?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services developed the star rating system to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare healthcare centers.
What is captured in the star rating?
- Health inspection rating: Contains information from the last three years of state on-site inspections, including both standard surveys and any complaint surveys.
- Staffing rating: Includes information about the number of hours of care provided on average to each resident each day by nursing staff.
- Quality measures rating: Combines information on 16 different physical and clinical measures for nursing home residents.
How does the rating reflect overall care?
There is some industry debate surrounding the CMS star rating system because it sometimes fails to reflect important considerations. For more information, read our informational flyer here.
