In 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reviewed The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center and gave us a rare five out of five star “much above average” rating in three of the four categories!
The Legacy is better than the national average on:
- Time spent per resident, per day by nursing team
- Fewer signs of depression for long-stay residents
- More short-stay residents moving around on their own
*Nursing homes that are certified by Medicare and Medicaid regularly report clinical information for each of their residents to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS assigns nursing homes a quality of resident care star rating based on their performance on 16 measures. These measures reflect, on average, how well nursing homes care for their residents. There are two categories of residents: short stay are those who spent 100 days or less and long-stay are those who spent 100 days or more in a nursing home. Rating is based on data collected through September 30, 2017. Visit www.medicare.gov/nursinghomecompare.
