On July 18, 2017 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded Mount St. Joseph Rehab Facility with a Five-Star Quality Rating. This ranking is the federal government’s highest possible quality rating for nursing homes.

The CMS created the Five Star Quality Rating System to help consumers compare nursing homes more easily. Each nursing home receives a rating of between 1 and 5 stars. Nursing homes with 5 stars are considered to provide above average quality care, and nursing homes with 1 star are considered to have quality much below average. The rating is derived from an annual inspection, where State of Ohio surveyors go onsite to the nursing home and evaluate health care, staffing levels, and quality measures. These quality measures offer information about how well nursing homes are caring for their residents’ needs.
