A low rating can cost you a fortune. Coretactics has a 100% success rate in raising our client’s CMS Five Star Rating, a pivotal decision maker for those you do business with:

• Lenders and Investors
• Liability Insurers
• Providers and Practitioners
• Regulators
• State Managed Quality Initiatives

Your Five Star Rating is based on performance in three domains: 1) survey health inspections, 2) quality measure, and 3) staffing levels/turnover. Use our expertise in these areas to improve performance and raise your overall Star Rating.

Announcing Our New
“5 Steps to 5-Stars” Programs
Coretactics knows every skilled nursing facility (SNF) is unique, as are their consulting needs. So, we have developed two new “5 Steps to 5-Stars” Programs. One focuses on Survey and the other on CMS Quality Measures. Each program outlines five suggested plans of action to improve your SNF’s star rating.
Based on decades of long term care consulting experience, our team developed these programs to outline what they know to be proven pathways to success. Each of the five paths represent a different level of assistance. The more critical a facility’s needs, the higher the number and intensity of our recommended plan of action.
With a 100% success rate in raising our clients 5-Star Ratings, you can trust our experts to help you achieve your facility’s goals! Learn more about our 5 Steps to 5-Stars Programs with the links below!

Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
Fantastic speaker. I like how she included personal examples from her career that we could all relate to. She was my favorite presenter of the conference.
Amy is a person who has the ability to turn any difficult challenge, in a short period of time, into a positive outcome. Her intelligence, solid clinical skills and “can do” upbeat personality inspires staff to perform at levels they never envisioned.
Presenter is incredibly knowledgeable! She shared such a wonderful wealth of useful information that can be put to use immediately.
