ABILENE - Village Manor in Abilene has once again received a five-star rating by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Village Manor is a 75-bed, long-term care facility in Abilene that is an affiliate of Memorial Health System.
“I am very proud of the hard work that all of the Village Manor employees have put in, especially in such a difficult time we have had over the last couple of years,” said Village Manor Executive Director Andy Sutter. “Receiving this rating again reflects our team’s continued commitment to our residents.”
Nursing homes with five stars, the highest rating possible, are considered to be well above average quality. The system determines an overall star rating for each nursing home and a separate rating for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, which offer information on how well nursing homes are caring for their residents’ physical and clinical needs, according to information from Memorial Health System.
The star rating system is designed to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which consumers may want to ask questions. The rating will be published on the Care Compare website at medicare.gov.
