The QIS Survey is a new federal/state annual survey process for nursing homes. To determine compliance with Medicare/Medicaid requirements, CMS (Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services) uses a structured review of the medical records and direct observations of the care of larger samples of residents to derive rates for a comprehensive set of Quality of Care Indicators. Surveyors then investigate care areas that have been triggered for review.
A nursing home's Overall Quality rating on Nursing Home Compare (www.medicare.gov) is based on its ratings for Health Inspections, Quality Measures, and Staffing. Ratings for each domain and the overall rating range from 1 star to 5 stars, with more stars indicating higher quality. Based on these three ratings the overall 5-star rating is assigned.
McKay has been highly rated as a 5-Star facility since the rating system was developed.
Our staff is confident and caring, ready and able to care for our residents.
