ABSOLUT OF GASPORT IS A 3-STAR NURSING HOME

Medicare recently launched an addition to its website where the federal government shares its assessment of the more than 16,000 nursing homes in the USA. It's done in a 5-star rating system. Nationally, 12% of all homes got a 5-star rating while 22% received a lowly 1. The remaining 66% were evenly distributed among 2, 3, and 4 stars.

Gasport's nursing home -Absolut - received a 3-star rating. It got 4/5 on health inspections, 2 out of 5 for staffing, and 1 out of 5 for quality measures.
