U.S. News & World Report Names Hillcrest Firethorn Among the Best Nursing Homes
Hillcrest Firethorn of Lincoln (hillcrestfirethorn.com) has been named among the “Best Nursing Homes” for 2020-21 by U.S. News & World Report, a national news organization that evaluates and rates healthcare providers nationwide. Hillcrest Firethorn earned the Best Nursing Home status by achieving a “High Performing” rating—the highest possible rating—for short-term rehabilitation. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those facilities that satisfy their assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality. The short-term rehabilitation rating incorporates measures of quality, including consistency of Registered Nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs, and success in preventing falls. After rating more than 15,000 skilled nursing facilities, Hillcrest Firethorn is among just 21% to earn the U.S. News recognition.
“It’s an honor to be recognized by such a distinguished publication,” said Hillcrest Firethorn Administrator Barry Emerson. “Our goal is to help guests recover and return to the place they call home. Being named one of the best reinforces that we’re always dedicated to delivering high-quality care.”
