CMS: Menig Nursing Home quality receives 5 Stars

Vermont Business Magazine Gifford Health Care’s Menig Nursing Home in Randolph Center has an overall Five-Star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), according to the latest reports published by the federal agency.

The five-star system is a metric-based quality initiative that was launched in 2012. It evaluates three areas of service including health inspection outcomes, quality measures and staffing. According to CMS, the rating was created, “to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and to help identify areas about which [they] may want to ask questions.”

The Menig Nursing Home consistently receives high ratings with the most recent five-star rating in February 2022.

“I am proud of the dedicated Menig team and the compassionate, quality care they provide to our residents,” Ursula Margazano, Vice President of Senior Services said. “The five-star rating reflects the team’s commitment to our residents. Our residents, families and caregivers have peace of mind knowing their loved ones are safe and well taken care of.”

Menig Nursing Home is located at Morgan Orchards Senior Living Community, which also includes Strode Independent Living.

The CMS rating system publishes reports on the Nursing Home Compare page at medicare.gov.
