An exciting achievement deserves to be celebrated! Green House® Cottages of Homewood has earned a 5-Star Overall Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), along with the additional Gold Trophy designation recognizing high-performing nursing homes.

This recognition goes beyond the traditional CMS five-star rating and highlights an additional level of performance.

CMS evaluates nursing homes through its Five-Star Quality Rating System, which considers three primary areas: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. These ratings help residents, families, and caregivers better understand and compare nursing home performance.

The Gold Trophy represents an additional distinction for facilities that meet CMS's high-performance criteria.

According to CMS, these facilities demonstrate fewer safety-related citations, higher staffing levels, and other quality indicators. The designation recognizes nursing homes that go beyond the traditional overall five-star rating.

The prestigious 5-Star CMS Rating and Golden Chalice Award recognize nursing homes among the top 10% of highest-performing facilities nationwide, reflecting an exceptional commitment to quality care and excellence in long-term care.

For Green House® Cottages of Homewood, this achievement is especially exciting as it provides another opportunity to celebrate the dedication and efforts behind the facility's performance.

The Green House® model emphasizes a more intimate, household-style approach to long-term care, with private rooms, family-style dining, and an environment designed around the people who call each cottage home. This recognition adds another meaningful milestone to the facility's story.

We are proud to celebrate Green House® Cottages of Homewood for earning both distinctions.

Congratulations to the Homewood team on this outstanding accomplishment! Five stars and a Gold Trophy — a recognition worth celebrating.
