January 22, 2014, BELLE PLAINE, MINN.: The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine, a skilled nursing facility, recently received the highest rating of five stars from The Center of Medicare and Medicaid. The overall five-star rating is based on health inspection, staffing and quality measures. View the Medicare.gov nursing home profile.

The Five-Star rating system is a tool to help individuals, family members and caregivers compare nursing homes easily. Nursing homes are rated in:

  1. Health Inspections: information from the last 3 years of onsite inspections including standard and complaint surveys
  2. Staffing: information on the number of hours on average provided to each resident by nursing staff
  3. Quality Measures which incorporates information on 9 different physical and clinical measures.

The rating is valid for one year following the nursing home’s inspection.  
“We are proud of the work our care team has accomplished to achieve this rating,” said Mariann Wiebusch, The Lutheran Home Association administrator. “Our primary goal is always the care of the soul to the residents who live in our skilled nursing facility.”  

In addition to the 47-bed long term care unit, The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine has a 22-bed transitional care unit and a 28-bed skilled care. Located on a 22-acre continuum of care campus, The Lutheran Home: Belle Plaine is one of 3 facilities that provides senior and disability care.
