Bellbrook recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a 2023-24 Best in Senior Living

U.S. News & World Report Names Bellbrook among Best in Michigan 

[Rochester Hills, MI] – February 2, 2024 – Bellbrook, a Trinity Health Senior Community, has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2024 by U.S. News & World Report. 

Since 2009, U.S. News’ annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted consumers in need of either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care for themselves or a family member. 

Bellbrook earned its U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for Short-Term Rehabilitation.  U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News’ assessment of consistent performance in quality measures. 

“I’m tremendously proud of our colleagues and their encouraging, motivational, and compassionate spirit,” said Bellbrook Administrator LeeAnn Pennington.  “They inspire our residents with their undivided focus on all aspects of wellness.  It’s an honor to know that U.S. News & World Report recognizes Bellbrook’s great strength in providing outstanding short-term rehabilitation services.” 

For the 2024 edition, U.S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on resident outcomes, such as infection rates; staffing levels; potentially inappropriate reliance on antipsychotic drugs; health inspection results and other indicators of quality. 

“U.S. News’ Best Nursing Homes ratings give patients, senior residents, their families and caregivers an objective assessment of quality, to help them choose the facility that best fits their individual needs,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “Nursing homes that have earned the recognition of U.S. News have a track record of achieving better outcomes for patients and residents, and maximizing the amount of care they receive from nurses and other staff.” 

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 & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. Both short- and long-term ratings include data on 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.
