Five Star Rating System

The Five Star Rating System is complex and biased, leading consumers to believe that more stars means better care and a happier stay.

Consider these points:

  • Different surveyors produce different outcomes. No two survey teams will arrive at the same conclusions since adherence to the regulations is not a black and white. It’s open to interpretation.
  • Some homes who were rated, didn’t even make all the information available. They can’t be compared to other homes in an equitable way if their data isn’t even presented.
  • The quality measures index for William Penn is misleading. We recently installed a new documentation system that enables us to capture not only more information but also more accurate information. As a result of this quality improvement measure, it appears that our residents declined when in fact they didn’t. Our assessment of their needs became completely accurate.

Now consider this:

  • Our first commitment - always- is to provide quality care to residents in a safe and secure environment.
  • Our customer satisfaction surveys rate us as excellent. Former residents and their families and friends are our best source of referrals.
  • We are proud of the care we offer. Come see for yourself. We welcome the opportunity to show you around and discuss the ratings. Appointments aren’t necessary. Drop in on us any time.
