CMS Star Ratings

Based on the last three years of on-site inspections and complaint investigations — the rating CMS weights most heavily.

Clinical outcomes CMS tracks, such as falls with injury, pressure ulcers and hospital readmissions.
Preferred Care At Old Bridge, LLC holds a 5-star overall rating, in the top tier CMS assigns. Its health-inspection rating is lower than its overall rating — the overall score is being lifted by staffing or quality-measure ratings, which draw partly on facility-reported data. Nursing staff turnover of 47% is well above the New Jersey average of 40%; high turnover is one of the strongest predictors of inconsistent care. None of this tells you whether a bed is open, whether your insurance is in network, or whether the facility will accept a given level of care — confirm those three directly with the facility before you commit.
