EDGEWOOD MANOR OF GREENFIELD ACHIEVES 4-STAR CMS RATING

Greenfield, OH (June 14, 2016) – Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help families and caregivers compare post-acute providers more easily. CMS uses an overall scale of one to five stars, and a separate rating for each of the following three sources of information: Health Inspection ratings that contain information from the last three years of onsite inspections, including standard surveys and complaint surveys; Staffing which is rated on the number of hours of care on average provided every day, by nursing staff, to each resident and their level of need; and lastly, the Quality Measures rating which evaluates information on eleven different physical and clinical measures for patients and residents.

As a part of the Consulate Health Care family, Edgewood Manor of Greenfield, a 60-bed skilled nursing center located in Greenfield, OH, has achieved an overall four-star CMS rating. Executive Director John Evans has been implementing new processes among the staff to drive a positive change, including measures to listen to ideas and feedback from both residents and staff. “The staff is receptive and appreciative that their input was asked for and acted on,” Evans stated. He credits the center’s “critical comprehensive evaluation of residents” as a trigger for improvement, and is encouraged to continue the journey to achieve quality outcomes.

The Edgewood Manor of Greenfield team has exhibited strong morale in response to the improvement. “The staff is proud of the accomplishment and quick to tell the community of this rating,” Evans observed. “We encourage the staff to take pride in and recognize their part in providing safe patient care that exceeds the standard set by CMS.”
