The Human Services Commissioner also said low-rated nursing home can't get bonuses until they improve
Conaway, a physician, also asked the commissioner to describe the impact of the department’s incentive payment program, which rewards nursing homes with higher daily reimbursement rates that can demonstrate the quality of service has improved.
“Instead of providing a thoughtful examination, the report relies entirely upon the aggregate ‘star rating’ assigned to each nursing home by the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services,” he told NJ Advance Media in February. “The aggregate ‘star rating’ is not a reliable measure of the quality of services provided by a nursing home. The public deserved a more accurate and in-depth report — not one used to grab headlines.
In response to Adelman’s remarks, Aronson said any assessment of compliance with the CNA wage law is anecdotal because salary information is not due until next month. Milly Silva, executive vice president of 1199SEIU, a union that represents many nursing home employees in the state, said she wanted to see the state do more than just recoup the money from noncompliant operators.
