Quality Measures are standardized tools that measure the healthcare outcomes of the residents at the facility. The goal of the system is to provide safe, efficient, person-centered care to the residents in the facility.
We are very proud of the hard work and excellent care that is provided each and every day to our residents!
Riverview Pointe is a 101-bed rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility located in the charming town of Olmsted Falls, Ohio – a place where individuals and their families feel empowered, comfortable and most importantly, special. Whether with us for rehabilitation or skilled nursing care, we provide a rewarding individual experience focused on health and wellness.
The Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services created "The Nursing Home Compare" website featuring a quality rating system that gives each nursing home a rating of between 1 and 5 stars. Nursing homes with 5 stars are considered to have much above average quality and nursing homes with 1 star are considered to have quality much below average. Quality Measures are rated with the following criteria:
Quality Measures (QMs) – The quality measure rating has information on 11 different physical and clinical measures for nursing home residents. The rating now includes information about nursing homes' use of antipsychotic medications in both long-stay and short-stay residents. This information is collected by the nursing home for all residents. The QMs offer information about how well nursing homes are caring for their residents’ physical and clinical needs. More than 12 million assessments of the conditions of nursing home residents are used in the Five-Star rating system.
Way to go, Team Riverview!
