Acts WillowBrooke Court Skilled Care Centers Rated Among Nation’s Best
We are pleased to announce that all 22 Acts WillowBrooke Court Skilled Care Centers were named among “America’s Best” by U.S. News & World Report.
The 2018-2019 ratings highlight the top skilled care centers in each city and state out of nearly 15,000 centers nationwide. Best Nursing Homes draws on data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) data that assigns a rating of one to five stars in health inspections, level of nurse staffing and quality of care and gives each center an overall star rating. According to CMS, about 60 percent of individuals over 65 will require long- term care services during their lives and over 40 percent will receive care in a skilled care center.
“It is very rewarding that all of our skilled care centers have been recognized by U.S. News & World Report for our high quality of life and care,” said Holly Schade, Acts Senior Vice President of Health and Home Services. “This accomplishment is a direct result of the dedication and compassionate
care given by all staff to our residents each and every day. Our skilled care centers’ continued recognition and awards demonstrate that we’re living up to our mission of Loving- Kindness, compassion, quality service and excellence.”
