Woman featured in NYT expose recounts alleged mistreatment in Lex nursing home NYT Article alleges nursing home negligence and last updated 2021-03-14 23:13:00-04 LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — An investigation conducted by the New York Times has shed light on the realities of a five-star reporting system used by many to measure the quality of care at nursing homes. In an effort to analyze the reliability of the ratings one for the worst, five for the best the Times built a database that included details submitted to the government by more than 10,000 nursing homes. The star system, which is based on 15 metrics including staff levels and residents safety is calculated based on self-reported data. The Times found that hundreds of facilities inflated staffing levels and did not disclose instances when a resident had fallen or was hurt.

Note: Abuse citations include violations for failing to investigate and report potential abuse. At homes whose five stars masked serious problems, residents developed bed sores so severe that their bones were exposed. Others lost the ability to move. But the most important impact may be that the nursing home industry was ill equipped for the pandemic. The rating system allowed facilities to score high grades without upgrading the care they provided. “They were working to improve their ratings, but not their quality,” said Charlene Harrington, who sits on a board that advises C.M.S. on the ratings system. “The problems with the five-star system left these homes less prepared in the pandemic,” she said. “They were allowed to not have enough staffing, and they were allowed to ignore infection-control deficiencies, so they had poorer quality than the public knew about, and they were in the worst position to manage Covid.”
