Growing Importance of Nursing Home Ratings
Receiving a better than average 5-star rating has never been more important to nursing homes.
These ratings are increasingly used by consumers, regulators, insurers and other payers, and provider networks to select which facilities they will consider having relationships with. Nursing homes may not even be able to obtain sufficient referrals or receive Medicare and Medicaid funding in the future if they do not have at least a 3-star rating.
The health inspection rating is based on the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies identified during the 3 or 2 most recent annual inspection surveys and 36 months of complaint investigations and focused infection control surveys. More than one revisit will have a negative impact on the score for a survey cycle. The total score from each survey cycle is weighted so that the more recent survey cycles have more impact on the overall total score as compared to the older survey cycle.
