VA nursing home gets low rating

The Biloxi (Miss.) Veterans Affairs Medical Center's nursing home is one of 11 VA facilities in the country to receive the lowest level on its annual performance rating. Although receiving 1-of-5 stars, the report said Biloxi had made improvement since the last report. The facility's staffing scored 5-of-5 stars, but scored 1s in all other categories: overall stars, survey stars, and quality stars. This year 34 of 133 facilities listed scored the highest 5-of-5 star ratings. It’s the first time the VA has made public these annual ratings for its 130 nursing homes across the U.S. (Source: Sun Herald 06/14/18)
