NURSING HOME GAINS NATIONAL RECOGNITION

Rita Mabli, president and CEO of United Hebrew, a leading senior care campus in New Rochelle, recently announced that the skilled nursing facility has been recognized as a 2024 Best Nursing Home by “U.S. News & World Report for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care,” placing it among the nation’s best.
U.S. News evaluated more than 15,000 facilities nationally on an array of patient and resident outcomes, including care, safety, infection rates, staffing levels and health inspections. Only 19% of skilled nursing facilities across the nation achieved this coveted designation.
“We take great pride and feel deeply honored to achieve this ranking, a recognition that underscores the dedication and hard work of our committed staff in delivering high-quality care to our residents,” said Mabli. “Navigating the search for a professional and reputable skilled nursing home can be a daunting task. This acknowledgment offers families essential guidance during the decision-making process.”
The U.S. News data shows that facilities earning the highest-performing rating achieve the following:
28% fewer emergency department visits,
14% fewer hospital readmissions,
27% fewer infection control-related hospitalizations,
44% higher rate of successful discharge to the community, and
57% fewer major falls.
In addition to this latest recognition by U.S. News & World Report, United Hebrew recently made the “Newsweek” list of 2023-2024 Best Nursing Homes. Mabli attributes these recognitions to its committed expert staff members who are dedicated to helping seniors lead vibrant lives with purpose.
To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home’s performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends.
