Government's Five Star Rating Received!

Friday, November 26, 2010

Every Medicare and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country is evaluated by a rating program known as the "FIVE STAR RATING". Results are available on-line at Medicare.gov, the official U.S. Government site for Medicare.

Interested individuals and their families who may need nursing care should review the site to compare nursing facilities in their town, county, or city before making a selection. The review has several components and allows you to compare "apples and apples", cutting through any marketing or sales hype that sometimes accompanies your search for help.

Franklin United Methodist Community has received the overall facility Five Star Rating - the only facility in Johnson County of south/central Indiana. According to the rating system, a rating of 5 is for "Much Above Average".

As one member of our Executive Staff commented after reviewing the area facilities listed on the website, "why would anyone choose a facility with a rating of only "1" for staffing levels?"
