United Hebrew’s skilled nursing facility, situated on its 7.5-acre campus of comprehensive care, received the American College of Healthcare Administrators (ACHA) Eli Pick Facility Leadership award, while also earning a place in the top tier of New York State’s nursing home rankings.
United Hebrew was chosen for the Eli Pick award – an honor earned by fewer than 9 percent of nursing homes – based on several factors, including the low numbers of residents who report being in pain. Less than 1 percent of long-stay residents complained of pain in the first three quarters of last year, compared with 8.1 percent nationwide, for instance.
“It is good to have the validation of respected third parties affirming what we have always felt – that the care we deliver is done in the best possible way,” said Rita Mabli, president and chief executive officer of United Hebrew. “Our health-care professionals provide superior round-the-clock attention so that we are always aware of what our residents need.”
The skilled nursing facility is part of United Hebrew’s campus of care, which includes Burke Rehabilitation at United Hebrew, Willow Towers Assisted Living, memory care, independent senior housing, and home care, was recognized for providing superior care to residents whether they are there for long or short stays.
The ACHCA, an industry leadership association that provides professional education and certification to administrators from across the spectrum of long term care, informed United Hebrew of the award with a letter stating that “facility excellence is a reflection of leadership excellence, so the purpose of the Eli Pick Facility Leadership award is to recognize the administrators of top performing skilled nursing facilities.”
