SALTER HEALTHCARE RECOGNIZED WITH 5-STAR QUALITY RATINGS

WINCHESTER, MA – Salter HealthCare’s Aberjona Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Winchester, MA, and Woburn Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Woburn, MA, recently received five-star ratings from the Federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for their overall performance in health inspections, nurse staffing, and quality of health care.

CMS created the five-star quality rating system to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily. The system gives each nursing home a rating between one and five stars, with nursing homes with five stars considered to have much above average quality and nursing homes with one star considered to have quality much below average.

The ratings are based on information from health inspections from the last three years, the average number of hours of care provided to each resident each day by nursing staff, and quality measures that provide information about how well the facility is caring for residents’ physical and clinical needs. 

“Salter HealthCare would like to congratulate our talented, professional teams for their dedication to providing residents and patients with the highest quality of health care. Being recognized by CMS with a five-star rating is an outstanding accomplishment and we are proud of their commitment and hard work,” said Salter HealthCare’s Director of Marketing, Deb Donovan, RN.

Additionally, Salter’s Winchester Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Winchester, MA, was given a four-star rating from CMS. According to Donovan, “We are pleased that all three of our health care centers were recognized for their excellence by CMS. Their performance on the rating system is truly a reflection of the high standards of care that Salter is known for providing to our patients and residents.”
