Crane's Mill Health Center Earns Five-Star Recognition from CMS

WEST CALDWELL, N.J. - Aug. 5, 2021 - PRLog -- "We did it again!" shouted excited Crane's Mill nursing and rehabilitation staff members when learning of the community's latest five-star rating from CMS, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid.

The Crane's Mill Health Center provides long-term nursing home care and short-term rehabilitation following a surgery or hospital stay. For many years running, the center has been highly rated and renowned for its care, services, dining program, and stunning 48-acre campus. Best of all, the care is open to everyone.

"You do not have to be a Crane's Mill resident to enjoy the five-star care we offer," explains Lisa Alfano, Director of Admissions for Crane's Mill. "Our short-term rehabilitation and long-term care services are open to residents of any community. If you should ever have a hospital stay or a surgery, you can come to Crane's Mill after to recover."

The five-star rating is difficult to achieve and maintain. Within a 25 mile radius of the community, only one-third of nursing homes can claim the five-star designation. According to medicare.gov, the overall rating is based on a nursing home's "performance on 3 sources: health inspections, staffing, and quality of resident care measures."

"We are proud to share this exciting news, and invite anyone interested in learning more to schedule a tour," continues Ms. Alfano. "It is best to take control of your future now, and decide on a nursing home or rehabilitation center that can care for you or a loved one should you ever have a planned or unplanned need for a higher level of care."
