The CMS rating is based on three components: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. Each component is measured individually, and they are combined for an overall rating.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, &ldquo;the Five-Star Quality Rating System [is] to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily . . . . Nursing homes with 5 stars are considered to have much above average quality.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">United Zion Retirement Community began through the efforts of Barbara &amp; Henry Firestone, United Zion Church members, who welcomed people into their home in the early 1900s, caring for their social and health needs. That tradition continues with a faith-inspired mission to provide superior quality services to seniors, based on Christian principles, in a loving and caring community that promotes independence, wellness, and human dignity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information regarding the CMS rating or to compare United Zion Retirement Community with others, visit <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.medicare.gov\/nursinghomecompare\/profile.html#profTab=0&amp;ID=395631&amp;loc=LITITZ%2C%20PA&amp;lat=40.1573169&amp;lng=-76.3069014&amp;name=UNITED%20ZION%20RETIREMENT%20COMMUNI&amp;Distn=0.0\">medicare.gov\/nursinghomecompare<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>About United Zion Retirement Community<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">United Zion Retirement Community is a continuing care retirement community located in Lancaster County, PA that offers independent living apartments, cottages, personal care, nursing care and rehabilitation using a life- style-oriented approach to services for seniors.
