The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released this week, updated Five-Star quality ratings for care centers. Aurora on France has been rated 5-stars on CMS’s Care Compare – a nursing home five-star quality rating system. Care Compare is a public reporting site – the primary goal of which is to provide residents and their families with an easy way to understand assessment on nursing home quality, making meaningful distinctions between high and low performing nursing homes.
The Overall rating is based on a nursing homes performance on 3 sources – health inspections, staffing, and the quality of resident care measures. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain survey activity was suspended in March 2020. While CMS continued to publicly post survey findings during this time, they weren’t used to recalculate the nursing home inspection ratings. However, CMS updated the nursing home inspection ratings on January 27, 2021. Medicare.gov explains, “Star ratings can give you important information and help you compare nursing homes, but aren't a substitute for visiting the nursing home.” If you need award-winning short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or are looking for long term nursing care, Aurora on France invites you to visit our 5-star community to see for yourself!

Aurora on France Senior Living and Care is among the 21% of U.S. skilled nursing facilities that have been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2020-21 by U.S. News & World Report.
The community earned Best Nursing Homes status by achieving a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for Short-Term Rehabilitation. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those homes that satisfy U.S. News’s assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures. “This past year has been a challenging one for all, but especially for those caring for older adults,” said Garrett Bothun, Aurora on France’s Campus Administrator. “For our Transitional Care Unit to be named one of the best by U.S. News & World Report during this time just reiterates that our hard work is paying off and we’re making a difference in the lives of the people we serve.” Now in its 11th year, the U.S. News Best Nursing Homes ratings and profiles offer comprehensive information about care, safety, health inspections, staffing and more for nearly all of the nation’s 15,000-plus nursing homes. The Best Nursing Homes ratings reflect U.S. News’ exclusive analysis of publicly available data using a methodology defined by U.S. News that evaluates factors that it has determined most greatly impact patient and resident care, safety, and outcomes. This year, to accompany the new ratings, nursing home profile pages were updated to include a patient safety summary that reflects COVID-19 data alongside other measurements of safety and related advice on choosing a home or facility amidst the pandemic. “U.S. News strives to provide access to information that allows consumers to make educated decisions on all types of care,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “Updating the profiles to include a patient safety summary that highlights COVID-19 data paired with other measures of care arms families, caregivers and patients with the information needed to make a decision that keeps safety at the highest priority.” The Best Nursing Home finder features ratings on both long-term and short-term care. The Long-Term Care Rating aims to provide prospective residents who need help with daily activities, and their families, with analysis and information regarding the quality of care provided by nursing homes. The rating includes data on staffing, success in preventing ER visits and pneumonia vaccination rates, among other metrics. The short-term rating incorporates measures of quality including consistency of registered nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing falls.
