Reedsburg Area Senior Life Center is proud to announce they are among a select num
ber of facilities to achieve a five-star rating by the Center’s for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The Center’s for Medicare and Medicaid Services unveiled a star rating system that rates each of the country’s nursing homes that participate in Medicare. Ratings are broken down into three areas: health inspection surveys, quality measures and staffing information.
According to the CMS website, the five-star rating system was created to help consumers, their families and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which a person may want to ask questions.
The ratings are defined as follows: 5 Stars – Much Above Average; 4 Stars – Above Average; 3 Stars – About Average; 2 Stars – Below Average; 1 Star – Much Below Average.
“We are very proud of Reedsburg Area Senior Life Center’s accomplishment,” says Bob Van Meeteren, President/CEO at Reedsburg Area Medical Center, “because it validates the quality care and exceptional service provided to the residents.”
