CMS 5 Star Rated Facility Offering Longterm Care

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services developed a rating system to grade the 16,000 nursing homes in the United States that participate in Medicare and Medicaid. The system assigns nursing homes one to five star ratings based on health inspections surveys, staffing, RN staffing information, and quality of care data. A star rating is provided to each of these four sources, and then these four ratings are combined to calculate an overall rating with five-star being the highest honor.

The Five-Star Quality Rating System is not a substitute for visiting a nursing home where you can see first hand what the facility is like. This system gives you information to help you compare nursing homes by topics you consider most important and help you think of questions you may want to ask when visiting the facility.

The National award signifies a formal commitment to continuous improvement in quality care.
Park View Home has been recognized as a 2025 recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award by the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) for its commitment to improving the lives of residents through quality care. This distinction is the first of three progressive award levels through the AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program. The Program honors providers across the nation that have demonstrated their dedication to enhancing the quality of care for our nation’s elders and individuals with disabilities.

The AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Program is a rigorous three-level process reviewed and evaluated by trained experts against a set of nationally recognized standards for organizational excellence. The standards of the Baldrige Performance Excellence Program help organizations achieve superior performance over time to improve the quality of life and care of long term care residents.

Providers begin the quality improvement journey at the Bronze level, where they develop an organizational profile detailing among other elements their vision, mission, key customers, and key strengths and challenges. Bronze applicants must demonstrate the use of a performance improvement system. Trained examiners review each application to determine if a center has met the demands of the criteria. As a recipient of the Bronze – Commitment to Quality award, Park View Home may now move forward to the Silver – Achievement in Quality award criteria.

“Receiving this award marks the beginning of an exciting journey towards excellence,” said Cathy Bergland, AHCA/NCAL National Quality Award Board Chair. “Congratulations to Park View Home for this significant achievement. I encourage you to take some time to celebrate and continue striving for higher levels of quality and performance.”

Park View Home is also a 2012 Bronze Award past winner.
