Quality Ratings of Nursing Homes
Just yesterday, I heard that a new rating system for nursing homes was being instituted by CMS. Today I received this information:
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released quality ratings for each of the nation's 15,800 nursing homes that participate in Medicare or Medicaid. Facilities are assigned star ratings from a low of one star to a high of five stars based on health inspection surveys, staffing information and quality of care measures. The search system allows users to simply input their Zip Code to get star ratings of nursing homes in their area.
I would like to learn more about the rating system. I wonder if it includes the recreational therapy/activity program at each nursing home. If anyone has information please comment.
