New Five-Star Reports are now available for nursing home members in the LeadingAge Report Portal. These reports are based on the July 29 update to Nursing Home Care Compare data and include changes to all three domains – Health Inspections, Staffing, and Quality Measures – as well as the overall Five-Star rating.
Of note, there is a change this quarter to ratings thresholds for the Quality Measures domain; this change may impact members’ Quality Measures domain ratings. This change is based on a 2019 policy that states that ratings thresholds will be updated at half the rate of the previous time period’s improvement. Read more on this policy here.
Based on this policy, nursing homes can expect another update to quality measures ratings thresholds with the January 2027 quarterly refresh if performance continues to improve. LeadingAge members can access their reports on the LeadingAge Report Portal. The next quarterly refresh of the Five-Star Quality Rating System will occur on October 28.
If you need assistance accessing your report, please contact Kate Battiato.
