The CMS "Five Star" Rating System for Nursing Homes
The CMS “five-star” nursing home rating system gives nursing homes participating in Medicare and Medicaid programs a star rating that varies from 1 to 5.
Hat tip to Peter Leibold of the AHLA LTC List who passed the following on from Ric Henry of Pendulum LLC:
[The five star rating system] is derived from three data sources: health survey inspections, quality measures, and the nurse staffing information from the most recent health survey inspection. The tables below show the separate star ratings under each of these domains.
• Overall Ratings
• Nurse Staffing Ratings
• Health Inspection Ratings
• Quality Measures Ratings
These tables are produced using data files currently available on Nursing Home Compare, and are updated monthly. The latest update is: Jan. 21, 2010.
