Jewish Home of Rochester Achieves Top Ranking

ROCHESTER, N.Y. February 28, 2017– The Jewish Home of Rochester announced that it has been ranked among the top ten percent of nursing homes nationwide by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Five-Star Quality Rating.

“This is a reflection of the hard work and dedication to high-quality care our staff provides to the people we are privileged to serve,” said Michele Schirano, Senior Vice President and Administrator of the Jewish Home.

Ratings are based on more than 180 regulatory standards designed to protect residents, including having superior staffing levels, and achieving high performance on 16 clinical quality measures. CMS created this rating system to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes.

“We’re proud to be recognized as an elite skilled nursing provider. However, our commitment to excellence and innovation does not stop here,” said Michael King, President and CEO of Jewish Home. “We’re focused each and every day on improving the care experience and ensuring that we are providing an atmosphere that supports meaningful lives for our residents.”

The Jewish Home of Rochester offers long-term, transitional, and memory care at Jewish Home. For more information about Jewish Home’s continuum of care and community-based services, please visit Jewish Home online.
