Riverview Estates is awarded
four-star recognition!

The Centers for Medicare Services (CMS) created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes easily and to help identify areas about which a consumer may want to ask questions or seek more complete information. 

The Nursing Home Compare website, www.medicare.gov/nhcompare shows the rating for each nursing home.  On February 1, 2010, CMS gave Riverview Estates a 4-star rating, indicating the care we provide is in the top third of all nursing homes in New Jersey.

The rating system is 1 through 5 stars.  Nursing homes with 5 stars are considered to have much above average quality (top 10% of all nursing homes in the state) and nursing homes with 1 star are considered to have quality much below average (bottom 20% of all nursing homes in the state).  Each nursing home is given an overall rating and a separate rating for each of the following three sources of information:

• Health Inspections – consists of the last 3 years of onsite inspections, including both standard surveys and any complaint surveys.  The most recent inspection is weighted more than the prior two years.
• Staffing – concerns the number of hours of care on average provided to each resident each day by nursing staff.  The level of care needed by residents is considered when assigning this rating.
• Quality Measures (QMs) – information on 10 different physical and clinical measures for nursing home residents is collected for all residents; for example, prevalence of pressure sores or changes in resident’s mobility.  These QMs offer information about how well a nursing home is caring for their residents’ physical and clinical needs.

This rating system is not a substitute for personally visiting any long term facility that you may be considering. We invite you to visit us and see for yourself what sets us apart from other nursing homes and rehab facilities..

Call the Admissions office to set up a tour and a free lunch at 856-829-2274 x 141.

We take pride in this accomplishment and credit each member of our staff for giving such wonderful care to every resident at Riverview Estates.  It is heartwarming to receive recognition for our hard work and dedication. Won’t you consider us when you are looking for long term or rehabilitative care?
