Courtesy of Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital:

Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital’s  (HHMH) two Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF’s), Wm. & Inez Mabie Southside and Mabie Northside, have been awarded a 5 out of a 5-Star rating for their most recent evaluation from the Centers for MediCare &MediCaid Services (CMS) Nursing Home Compare for 5-Star Ratings.

The two SNF’s have outranked other facilities nationwide in 16 out of 18 quality indicators compared to national benchmarks. 

“We are thrilled to receive the 5-star rating for the fifth year in a row, recognizing the excellent care we provide to our residents.” said Sherry Hua, RN, MSN, Director of Nursing for the Skilled Nursing Facilities. “Our dedicated staff exemplifies excellence in patient care, compassion and quality. Their commitment in serving our residents is even more accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping the residents healthy and safe.”

The 5-Star rating system for nursing homes from CMS is based on three parts or domains:

·       Health Inspections

·       Staffing

·       Quality Measures (QMs)

A star rating is provided for each of these three sources. Then, these three ratings are combined to calculate an overall rating ranging from 1 star to 5 stars with more stars indicating better quality.

Nursing Home Compare also includes information on the following:

·       Five-Star Quality Ratings of overall and individual star performance on health inspections, quality measures, and hours of care provided per resident by staff performing nursing care tasks.

·       Penalties against a nursing home.
