Fairmont Rehabilitation Hospital Receives A National 5-Star Rating From Medicare Five Years In A Row

Fairmont Rehabilitation Hospital receives fifth consecutive Five-Star Rating from Medicare, in addition to the ‘Best Nursing Homes’ classification from US News and World Report.

Fairmont, CA (PRWEB) - Millions of Americans spent at least part of 2014 in a skilled nursing facility, or nursing home and growing numbers are expected for 2015. Individuals and their families often encounter difficulty in choosing the right nursing home. Frequently asked questions including, "Where will I receive the highest quality care?" "Where will I be treated like a resident, not just a patient?" and "Where is the cleanest nursing home with the best food?" weigh heavily on their minds.

In an effort to lighten the burden of such an important choice, U.S. News and World Report recently released its sixth annual "Best Nursing Homes" report. Using data from the federal agency that sets and enforces standards for nursing homes, U.S. News awarded the "Best Nursing Home" designation to homes that recently earned an overall rating of five stars, highlighting the top nursing homes in each state and nearly 100 major metropolitan areas. The ratings cover more than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide and are freely available at http://www.usnews.com/best-nursing-homes. Medicare likewise rated each nursing home with one to five stars based on separate measures of quality of care, health-inspections record, and level of nurse staffing.

At the top of the list is Fairmont Rehabilitation Hospital, a facility serviced by North American Health Care, Inc. Medicare has given 30 of 36 facilities serviced by North American Health Care a five-star rating. Statistically, less than 23% of all skilled nursing facilities in the United States will achieve this level of success. No other similar organization in the United States has consistently achieved this level of patient care.

“Fairmont has a team that is truly passionate about serving our patients,” said Randy Tu, Administrator of Fairmont Rehabilitation Hospital. “We make our patients and their families our number one priority.”

Residents are highly complimentary. “When [my mother] arrived at your facility she was disoriented and could not walk very well. Within a very short time your team of Rehabilitation Specialists had her up walking, exercising, and eating well. My mother has nothing but good things to say about your entire staff. She is now getting around very well thanks to the wonderful care she received there.”
