ALTURAS, CALIF. — Modoc Medical Center is proud to announce that Warnerview Skilled Nursing Facility has been awarded a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest possible rating a nursing facility can attain.
The CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System is a nationally recognized benchmark designed to help patients, families, and caregivers compare nursing facilities with ease. A five-star rating reflects excellence across three key performance areas: health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures of care. Facilities that earn this distinction consistently demonstrate superior performance, dedication to patient safety, and a commitment to high-quality, compassionate care.
“This recognition is a direct result of the tireless efforts of our staff,” said Ed Johnson, Chief Nursing Officer at Modoc Medical Center. “A five-star rating doesn’t happen overnight—it requires attention to detail, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to putting our residents first in everything we do. I could not be prouder of our team for their passion in providing the very best care to our community.”
Achieving and maintaining a five-star status requires:
- Rigorous compliance with state and federal health inspections.
- Strong staffing ratios that ensure residents receive timely and personalized care.
- Outstanding performance on clinical quality measures, including resident health outcomes, rehabilitation success, and overall quality of life.
Warnerview’s recognition highlights the skilled nursing facility’s role as a cornerstone of care in Modoc County, ensuring residents and their families can expect a standard of care that prioritizes patient safety and dignity above all else.
