THSC Communities Named Among Best in Nation

U.S. News & World Report Names Seven Trinity Health Senior Communities

Among Best in Nation for Long-Term Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation

Livonia, MI – March 13, 2023 – Seven Trinity Health Senior Communities have been recognized among Best Nursing Homes for long-term care and short-term rehabilitation for 2022-2023 by U.S. News & World Report. Holy Cross Rehabilitation and Wellness in South Bend, Indiana, St. Joseph of the Pines’ Health Center in Southern Pines, NC, Mary’s Meadow in Holyoke, MA, The Alverno in Clinton, IA, The Care and Rehabilitation Center at Glacier Hills in Ann Arbor, MI, Fraser Villa in Fraser, MI, and Bellbrook in Rochester Hills, MI all achieved distinction.

The annual Best Nursing Homes ratings, now in their 13th year, assist prospective residents and their families in making informed decisions in consultation with their medical professionals about where to receive short-term or long-term nursing home care. Only 16% of U.S skilled-nursing facilities earned the “Best Nursing Home” designation this year.

“We are immensely proud to have seven Trinity Health Communities lauded by U.S. News & World Report,” said Marcus Bowens, interim president and chief executive officer of THSC. “This confirms our colleagues’ success in meeting our Mission to serve as transforming healing presences within our communities and to provide the highest possible quality of care.”

For 2022-2023, U. S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on care, safety, infection rates, staffing and health inspections. For the first time, the Best Nursing Homes ratings feature a new measure on weekend staffing and another new measure on infection rates that led to hospitalizations.

“Choosing the right nursing home based on care needs and comfort is a critical decision for prospective residents and their families,” said Zach Adams, health data engineer at U.S. News. “The Best Nursing Homes ratings highlight nursing homes that excel in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care needs.”

The Best Nursing Homes methodology factors data such as resident care, safety, and outcomes. To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home’s performance using a variety of data obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Both short- and long-term ratings include data on consistency of registered nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs, and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends. The short-term rehabilitation rating also includes measures of a home’s success in preventing falls, preventing serious infections, and making sure residents are able to return home.
