Valley View Living Center Earns
5-Star Rating
ORD - Last year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid  Services (CMS) established a Five-Star Quality Rating system that assigns each nursing home a rating between one and five stars. The Five-Star Quality Rating System was created to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and help identify areas about which you may want to ask questions. This rating system is based on continued efforts as a result of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1987 (OBRA '87), a nursing home reform law, and more recent quality improvement campaigns such as the Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes, a coalition of consumers, health care providers, and nursing home professionals.
Nursing home ratings are taken from the following three sources of data: Health Inspections, Staffing and Quality Measures.
The rating scale is as follows:
The overall rating for Valley View Living Center is five (5) stars, or much above average.
You may visit the nursing home compare website at www.medicare.gov/NHCompare for more information and to compare ratings of nursing homes. |
