The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released their July 2024 Care Compare Five-Star Ratings of Nursing Homes recognizing SpiriTrust Lutheran® – The Village at Gettysburg for achieving a five-star Overall Quality rating.
CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers more easily compare nursing homes and to help identify areas about which they may have questions. The Nursing Home Care Compare website features a quality rating system that gives each nursing home a rating of between one and five stars. Nursing homes with five stars are considered to have quality much above average and nursing homes with one star are considered to have quality much below average.
“This recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication, compassion and excellence demonstrated by our staff every day,” said Jill Flasher, executive director, The Village at Gettysburg. “It reflects our commitment to providing the highest level of care and creating a warm, supportive environment for our residents. This recognition is shared by our entire team for their hard work and dedication. We are grateful for the trust our residents and their families have placed in us for their care and wellbeing.”
The report contains one overall five-star rating for each nursing home and separate ratings for health inspections, staffing and quality measures. In addition to its overall five-star rating, The Village at Gettysburg earned a five-star rating in quality measures and four-star ratings in both health inspections and staffing.
“I am thrilled for The Village at Gettysburg on receiving a five-star quality rating from CMS,” said Nicole Watson, RN, VP of Clinical Excellence at SpiriTrust Lutheran. “It’s an honor to see our vision for exceptional care recognized at the highest level. To our remarkable staff, thank you for your tireless efforts and dedication to our residents’ well-being.”
