The Tillers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Recognized by CMS as Five Star Facility

The Tillers Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has received the highest ranking of five out of five stars overall by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services making it the only rehabilitation facility in Kendall and Kane County to receive this award.      

The data behind Nursing Home Compare is a website run by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.  CMS sets and enforces standards for facilities that are enrolled in Medicare or Medicaid and define nursing homes as any facility that provides 24-hour care and other medical services.  The agency also collects information from states and individual facilities in order to assign a rating of one to five stars in each of the three categories: health inspections, nurse staffing, and quality of care.

An estimated 3.3 million Americans lived in nursing homes in 2013, which translates to 1 in 7 people ages 65 and up. CMS makes this information available on their website so families can find the best possible care for themselves or loved ones at facilities like The Tillers Nursing and Rehabilitation.
