Two Arlington Heights nursing homes received stamps of approval in the recently released U.S. News and World Reports Best Nursing Homes rankings. 

Manorcare Of Arlington Heights, 715 West Central Road, and The Moorings Health Center, 761 Old Barn Lane, both received five-star ratings from U.S. News and World Reports.

U.S. News and World Reports rated more than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide as part of its 2013 rankings, with fives stars being the top ranking for nursing homes, according to the news website. 

"We’re proud to be given a five-star rating for the care we provide in our health center. We have ongoing quality initiatives that focus on the well-being of our residents," said John Denkert, health care administrator at The Moorings Health Center in a PRWeb press release. "Our experienced nursing, therapy, and activities teams work very collaboratively to inspire our residents to achieve their potential and embrace life here at The Moorings.”

The ratings were developed using combined information from state health inspection reports, nurse staffing information and selected quality measures of clinical care reported at the Nursing Home Compare website run by the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), according to a PRWeb press release. 

The purpose of the data is to help families "research nursing home safety, health inspections, staffing, and more," accoring to the U.S. News Best Nursing Homes website.
