Avondale Nursing Home Abuse Attorney Law Firm

Nursing homes that are guilty of abuse or neglect often argue that they have received a Five Star Quality Rating. As a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987, the Five Star Quality Rating has been created, purportedly to help families compare nursing homes and gather questions that may arise as nursing homes are looked at. The three main areas of the Five Star Quality Rating are: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

The health care inspections consider 180 different aspects of care. For staffing, the Five Star Quality Rating examines the number of staff per number of elderly residents, along with the amount of care each resident needs. The quality measures include how the elderly are dressed and eat, and the same ten ratings are used in all states.

Over the years, our Avondale nursing home abuse lawyer has learned that the problem with the Five Star Quality Rating is that virtually every piece of information used is provided by and fully under control of the nursing home itself. Consequently, the system does little to actually differentiate between good and bad nursing homes.

Arizona nursing home residents should have quality care and nursing homes who choose to neglect their elderly residents should be held accountable.
