CMS Five-Star Rating

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Nursing Home Five-Star Rating system was made as a tool to help consumers select and compare skilled nursing centers from three main categories; a center’s annual health inspection survey, quality measures and staffing ratios.  There are many technical measurements, including long-term stay versus short-term care to home, and other directives to the system, but the following three aspects largely make-up what provides a center’s star rating.

Nursing homes are evaluated in three categories:  Annual Health Inspection, Quality, and Staffing.  A star rating is provided for these three categories and those ratings are combined to calculate an overall rating.
