US News & World Report Recognizes Alamitos-Belmont Rehabilitation Hospital's Five Star Care
Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) December 31, 2014 -- More than 3 million Americans spent at least part of 2013 in a skilled nursing facility, or nursing home and similar numbers are expected as we close out 2014. 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 fifth 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 Alamitos-Belmont Rehabilitation Hospital, a facility serviced by North American Health Care, Inc. Medicare has given all 35 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.
“At Al-Bel, our primary focus is providing the best care to our patients,” said Mark Hall, Administrator of Alamitos-Belmont Rehabilitation Hospital. “The team here takes pride in providing a friendly and healing environment not only for our patients, but also for their family members and guests.”
Residents are highly complimentary. “I would like to extend my thanks to the entire facility for providing me with such great care. I really appreciate the around the clock attention from all the staff that attended me and I would like to also thank my physical therapy team, for helping me get back on my feet and pushing me through my exercises. Your facility provided me with such a positive environment for my recovery” and “while my husband was in your [facility], I have been witness to extraordinary compassion, perseverance, professionalism, determination, and encouragement in his treatment,” are some of the more recent testimonials that speak to the care and culture of Terrace View.
