CMS gives Clare Oaks high marks in all 5-star rating categories
In the past, Clare Oaks in Bartlett, Ill., has earned stellar ratings from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for its short-term rehabilitation services. Now, the monitoring agency's most recent ratings affirm the continuing care retirement community at 825 Carillon Drive has surpassed earlier levels of superior care.
"CMS created the five-star rating system to help people compare quality of care among nursing homes," said Gigi Walker, CEO of Clare Oaks. "Only 10 percent of nursing homes nationwide manage to achieve overall quality five-star ratings. Even fewer organizations attain 5-star ratings in the other three categories CMS assesses. Those are 'health inspection,' 'quality measures,' and 'staffing,' which includes R.N. staffing. Most recently, Clare Oaks achieved five-star ratings in all categories. That's really rare."
With 120 Medicare-certified beds, Clare Oaks provides person-centered care for residents and nonresidents requiring short-term rehab services as they recover from surgery or a medical incident.
"Our goal with short-term care is for people to get well and go home quickly, whether they live in an apartment or cottage here at Clare Oaks or in neighboring communities," said Walker.
Since 2008, Clare Oaks has employed that same person-centered approach to providing a comprehensive continuum of care-which includes assisted living, memory support, skilled nursing, long term care and short term rehabilitation-for nearly 300 adults on its 41-acre campus.
Strong relationships with leading healthcare providers support seamless transitions from hospitals to Clare Oaks' short-term stay rehab and skilled nursing care programs.
"Our new ratings reflect our dedication to short-term stay patients, residents and their families. They also indicate our staff's commitment to collaboration to provide outstanding care," Walker said.
On Wednesday, April 24, the April 2019 ratings for nursing homes across the country were posted on the Medicare website.
