Juniper Communities Skilled Care Communities Among Top 1% Nationwide with Five-Star CMS Rating

BLOOMFIELD, NJ – Juniper Communities has earned a five-star performance rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for skilled care, placing it among just seven of 634 organizations nationwide to receive the highest possible rating overall.

This recognition reflects Juniper Communities’ commitment to providing high-quality skilled care for people who need medical support, whether they are living with chronic conditions or recovering from surgery or illness.

"Receiving a 5-star CMS rating reflects our culture and commitment to delivering excellence in care, service, and resident outcomes,” said Lynne Katzmann, Founder and CEO of Juniper Communities. “We are incredibly proud of all of our team members and their consistent dedication to providing high-quality care to the people we serve.”
