Maximize Your Membership: Latest Five Star Reports Available from LeadingAge

Nursing home members can now access the latest Five Star Reports in the LeadingAge Report Portal. Based on the April 29 update to Nursing Home Care Compare data, these reports include changes to all three domains–Health Inspections, Staffing, and Quality Measures–and the overall Five Star rating. This quarter includes a change to cut points for the long-stay antipsychotics quality measure due to an error in the January 2026 quarterly refresh. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) states the correction “did not have a significant impact on scores for this measure or the quality measure ratings. However, the scoring cut points for this measure will be reset to place providers into deciles using data from 2024 Q4–2025 Q3.”
