Chicago, IL –  St. Joseph Village of Chicago, a Franciscan Community, is proud to have achieved a five-star overall rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This is the highest level of achievement in the Quality Rating System implemented by CMS.

“I am so proud of all our associates at our community. Their excellence in care has helped us earn the 5-Star CMS rating,” stated LaDon Harris, Executive Director. He added, “It truly is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team of associates.” 

According to CMS, the Five-Star Quality Rating System was created to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing home communities. Each community receives an overall rating, as well as separate ratings for health inspections, staffing and quality measures. The Nursing Home Care Compare website features a quality rating system that gives each nursing home a rating of between 1 and 5 stars. Nursing homes with 5 stars are considered to have much above average quality and nursing homes with 1 star are considered to have quality much below average. 

St. Joseph Village takes immense pride in delivering exceptional care while fostering a warm, welcoming community for residents and their families. We offer a comprehensive range of senior living and healthcare services—including Assisted Living, Memory Care, Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing, and Respite Care to support every stage of the aging journey.
