Menorah Park of CNY has recently been given recognition as one of 33 “Top-Performing Nursing Homes” in New York State according to the New York State Department of Health’s Nursing Home Quality Initiative. This ranking is based on designated criteria of which all licensed nursing home facilities in the state are measured and is tabulated on the prior year’s score.
“We’re pleased to once again be named a top-performer,” said Mary Ellen Bloodgood, CEO of Menorah Park. “The care our staff — from maintenance and administration to Certified Nursing Assistants, recreational specialists and our doctors and nurses– takes with our patients can’t always be measured as it is in the NHQI, so we are pleased to be recognized.”
The New York State Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) is an annual quality and performance evaluation project to improve the quality of care for residents in Medicaid-certified nursing facilities across New York State. Nursing homes are awarded points for quality and performance measures in quality, compliance and efficiency. The points for all measures are then summed to create an overall score for each facility.
