(Boulder City, Nev.) – The Nevada Department of Veterans Services is pleased to announce that the Southern Nevada State Veterans Home (SNSVH) has earned a 5- Star quality rating, which is the highest overall rating possible from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The high rating comes following the completion of the 2024 CMS annual survey conducted at the Home. This final CMS report restores the Home’s 5-Star designation following a brief period of a 4-Star rating since last March.
According to CMS, only 10 percent of skilled nursing care and rehabilitative facilities in each state receive the top 5-Star rating. The 5-Star rating system is provided as a tool to help families and caregivers compare quality between nursing homes. The system gives each nursing home a rating between 1 and 5 stars with the highest rating being 5-Stars and the lowest of 1-Star. CMS notes 5-Star nursing homes are considered to have above average quality and care. The CMS categories rated include Overall Quality, Health Inspection, Quality Measure, Staffing and RN Staffing.

NDVS Director Mary Devine notes the restoration of the 5-Star rating is an outstanding achievement. “I’m proud of the SNSVH team and salute them for this incredible demonstration of their passion in serving Nevada’s veterans. Our Home always strives for 5-Star care and services in all we do for the residents and families we are proud to serve.”
