MUNSTER | Hartsfield Village has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for Short-Term Rehabilitation for 2022-23 by U.S. News & World Report.
The annual Best Nursing Homes report, now in its 13th year, assists prospective residents and their families in making informed decisions in consultation with their medical professionals about where to receive short- or long-term nursing home care. Only 16% of U.S. skilled-nursing facilities earned the “Best Nursing Home” designation this year.
Hartsfield Village is a continuing care retirement community that celebrates the full continuum of life and promotes successful aging. A service of Community Healthcare System, Hartsfield Village offers independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation and nursing care conveniently located on a 38-acre campus in Northwest Indiana, just 22 miles from Chicago.
“We are thrilled to receive this exceptional designation naming Hartsfield among the best nursing homes in Indiana,” said Leslie Darrow, executive director of Hartsfield Village and vice president of Post Acute Services at Community Healthcare System. “It reflects our team’s dedication to providing a high-quality environment of healing for our patients.”
For 2022-23, U.S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on care, safety, infection rates, staffing and health inspections. For the first time, the Best Nursing Homes ratings feature new measures on weekend staffing and infection rates that led to hospitalizations.
“Choosing the right nursing home based on care needs and comfort is a critical decision for prospective residents and their families,” said Zach Adams, health data engineer at U.S. News. “The Best Nursing Homes ratings highlight nursing homes that excel in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care needs.”
The Best Nursing Homes methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home’s performance using a variety of data obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Both short- and long-term ratings include data on consistency of registered nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs, and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well it was staffed on weekends. The short-term rehabilitation rating also includes measures of a home’s success in preventing falls and serious infections, and making sure residents are able to return home.
