Publisher's Synopsis
CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which you may want to ask questions.
the Five-Star Quality Rating System Technical Users' Guide provides in-depth descriptions of the ratings and the methods used to calculate them. Beginning with the March 2009 version, the Technical Users' Guide consists of two documents: the Five-Star Quality Rating System Technical Users' Guide and the Five Star Quality Rating System State-Level Cut Point Tables.
