PLANTATION BAY REHABILITATION CENTER RECEIVES 5-STAR CMS RATING
St. Cloud, Florida (February 22, 2016) – As quality measures for nursing homes have developed, rating systems have helped families and caregivers compare post-acute providers more easily. Amongst these rating systems is the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Five-Star Quality Rating System.
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 (QMs) rating which evaluates information on eleven different physical and clinical measures for patients and residents. Care centers with five stars are considered to provide care and service that is above average quality.
For Plantation Bay Rehabilitation Center, a 120-bed skilled nursing center and proud member of the Consulate Health Care family, achieving a CMS five-star rating shows a commitment to providing the best possible care to those they serve on a daily basis.
“We are all very proud of our accomplishments and the recognition by CMS as a 5-star center. Every staff member here at Plantation Bay takes extreme pride in always striving for the highest quality of life for all those entrusted to our care,” stated executive director Anthony Brunicardi.
Consulate Health Care is a national leading provider of senior healthcare services and the largest post-acute provider in Florida.
