Green House® Cottages of Northwest Arkansas has an exciting achievement to celebrate! The facility has earned a 5-Star Overall Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), along with the additional Gold Trophy designation recognizing high-performing nursing homes.

While the traditional CMS 5-Star rating is already a significant accomplishment, the Gold Trophy represents an additional level of recognition.

CMS developed its Five-Star Quality Rating System to help residents, families, and caregivers evaluate nursing home performance. The system considers three primary categories: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.

The Gold Trophy takes this recognition a step further.

CMS identifies high-performing nursing homes through additional performance criteria, including fewer safety-related citations, higher staffing levels, and other quality indicators. Facilities receiving the designation are recognized for going beyond the traditional five-star standard.

For Green House® Cottages of Northwest Arkansas, this achievement is an opportunity to celebrate both the recognition itself and the people who contribute to the facility's ongoing performance.

The Green House® model offers a distinctive approach to long-term care, centered on smaller household environments, private rooms, family-style dining, and a more personal sense of home. The facility's additional CMS recognition is another exciting milestone to share with its residents, families, and surrounding community.

We are proud to celebrate this accomplishment and congratulate the entire Green House® Cottages of Northwest Arkansas team.

Five stars are worth celebrating. The Gold Trophy makes it even more special!
