Saint Benedict Nursing Center Receives National Award

Ascension Living-owned Presence Saint Benedict Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, located at 6930 West Touhy Avenue in Niles, received the Excellence in Action award from NRC Health. This honor awarded exclusively to NRC Health post-acute clients, recognizes organizations that achieve the highest overall resident or employee satisfaction scores in the NRC Health database–the largest source of long-term care and senior-living satisfaction metrics in the nation.

“It’s NRC Health’s great pride to partner with organizations that show such a strong commitment to service,” said Helen Hardy, Senior Vice President, Customer Success. “Their sense of mission and their ability to realize a compassionate vision of care has elevated them to peak performance in the long-term care and senior living industry. They couldn’t be more deserving of this award and we’re thrilled to commend and congratulate them.”

To qualify for the award, skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent communities must have conducted a customer or workforce satisfaction survey in 2017. Winners must also have received a minimum of 10 responses (achieving a response rate of at least 30 percent) and must have ranked within the top 10 percent of positive responses to “What is your recommendation of this facility to others?” Saint Benedict Nursing and Rehabilitation Center won in the skilled nursing center category.

“Providing compassionate, person-centered care and service is our top priority throughout Ascension Living,” said Lori Smith, RN, chief nursing officer, Ascension Living, the parent company of Saint Benedict Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. “We’re proud of the care that our outstanding, compassionate associates provide to our residents and their loved ones. It is an honor to be nationally recognized for the service that is so naturally provided by our amazing associates. Their natural commitment to service, quality and safety are what sets us apart from other senior care and living providers nationally.”
