Nursing homes with 5 stars are considered to have much above average quality and nursing homes with 1 star are considered to have quality much below average. The Nursing Home Compare web site now features a quality rating system that gives each nursing home a rating of between 1 and 5 stars. "It is another indicator of Lutheran Life Villages' commitment to providing the highest quality of care to our residents."ĬMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which you may want to ask questions. The ratings are calculated from state survey results, quality measures and staffing levels, which are each assigned a score. Care Compare gives one to five stars in three domains (survey inspections, staffing, and quality measures) and calculates an overall rating, with one star defined as much below average and five stars defined as much above average.
CMS research shows that higher nurse turnover is associated with lower quality of care. Only nursing facilities with five stars in staffing will receive an additional star in their overall rating. "We are very pleased to receive this five-star rating," said Leslie Friedel, The Village at Pine Valley Administrator. Find Medicare-approved providers near you & compare care quality for nursing homes, doctors, hospitals, hospice centers, more. This enhancement to the Five-Star Quality Rating System helps to better inform consumers and residents about the care each nursing home provides and encourages nursing homes to improve the staffing of their facilities to foster better outcomes for residents. This is important because while all senior living communities are under the same state and federal guidelines, not all adhere to them in the same manner. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) recently awarded Lutheran Life Villages', The Village at Pine Valley campus a FIVE-STAR overall rating.
