As you may or may not know, Medicare has come out with a 5-Star Quality Rating System for nursing facilities effective December 18, 2008. Each nursing home will receive a "rating" depending on meeting specific criteria in areas such as:
- results from surveys
- Staffing levels
- Quality measures
As this report indicates, Medicare will rate each nursing facility from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 stars being the highest. We recently received a "5 Star" rating from CMS or more commonly known as Medicare.
