			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a title="Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services" href="http://www.cms.hhs.gov/" target="_self">Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services</a> (CMS), in December 2008, started <strong>ranking nursing home facilities</strong> based on government inspection results, staffing data and quality measures.  The rankings are based on a five-star system and rank over 16,000 nursing homes in the U.S.  A search of the state of <strong>Rhode Island nursing homes</strong> turns up 86 nursing homes.  Click <a title="Nursing Home Compare" href="http://www.medicare.gov/NHCompare" target="_self">here</a> for the rankings.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-183" title="cms" src="http://mclaughlinquinn.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/cms.jpg" alt="cms" width="212" height="75" /></p>
<p><a title="Jill E. Sugarman, Esq." href="http://www.mclaughlinquinn.com/about-the-firm/our-professionals/jill-e-sugarman-esq" target="_self">Jill E. Sugarman, Esq.</a> at <a title="McLaughlin &amp; Quinn, LLC" href="http://www.mclaughlinquinn.com" target="_self">McLaughlin &amp; Quinn, LLC&#8217;s</a> <a title="Law For Life" href="http://www.mclaughlinquinn.com/lawforlife" target="_self">Law For Life</a> focuses much of her time on assisting seniors and their families with their legal issues, including nursing home issues, such as <strong>Medicaid applications</strong>.  Jill is also associated with many other providers of services to seniors.  Jill makes many visits to nursing homes and other assisted-living facilities in Rhode Island, meeting with clients as well as the individuals who operate and manage these facilities.  Jill&#8217;s personal assessment is that most of the facilities in Rhode Island are excellent.  Of course, as in any line of business, some will be better than others.</p>
<p>The attorneys at <a title="Law For Life" href="http://www.mclaughlinquinn.com/lawforlife" target="_self">Law For Life</a> are often asked to recommend a <strong>nursing home</strong>, <strong>assisted living facility</strong> or other type of out-of-home or home-based care.  We work closely with several professionals who devote their entire business to helping families with these decisions and we would certainly be pleased to make an introduction.  But having a ranking system by the CMS based on actual data is certainly helpful.  Like any data-based ranking, remember that some data may be subjective, some may be incorrect, and some may be outdated.  However, I feel that this website should be either a starting place or a supplement to all of the other efforts families will make in choosing a nursing home or assisted living facility for their loved ones.</p>
<p>For more information about the legal services that are provided by the attorneys at <strong>McLaughlin &amp; Quinn, LLC&#8217;s Law For Life</strong>, click <a title="Law For Life" href="http://www.mclaughlinquinn.com/lawforlife" target="_self">here</a>.  Be sure to check out our website in the near future as we start listing some of the preferred providers of senior services with whom we work.</p>
