Health Center at Edgehill Earns Prestigious National Designation from CMS

Stamford, Conn. – The sub-acute rehabilitation and skilled nursing center at Edgehill, Stamford's premier continuing care retirement community (CCRC), is recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) as high-performing for its quality care and rigorous safety standards. The CMS distinction is awarded to only about 12% of skilled nursing providers nationwide and it illustrates dedication to outstanding care by the health center at Edgehill.

The recognition is part of CMS's new Risk-Based Survey program, launched nationwide this fall. To qualify for the quarterly risk-based assessment, a skilled nursing or long-term care facility must meet stringent criteria including a five-star overall CMS rating, accurate data submission to CMS, evidence of no citations for harm or substandard quality of care during its most recent survey cycle and no recent ownership changes.
