Marys Take: Maggots, Rape and Yet Five Stars: How U.S. Ratings of Nursing Homes Mislead the Public

I hesitated about 24 hours on whether to share this New York Times article with this title posted March 13, 2021 then decided that we all needed to see this – to be aware of what’s “out there.” Sit down with a cup of coffee and review the piece. Warning: It will take a few passes to digest if that’s even possible. It’s scathing.

You’ll likely hear that others in your community have seen it as well. Best to be prepared as you may receive questions on how your facility looks in comparison.
