This is the fifth year Cedar Community has received this ranking out of over 15,000 nursing homes nationwide, in every state. Cedar Community’s short-term rehabilitation has an overall rating of five out of five and earned the status of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating.

The rating evaluates Cedar Community’s post-acute care for patients recovering from a hospital stay.

U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those organizations who satisfy U.S. News’ assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures.

Assessments of services include categories such as nurse staffing, physical therapist staffing, consistent nurse staffing, prevention of falls, patients able to return home, and patient-centered rehabilitation therapy.

Cedar Community had a higher percentage of patients who were able to return home after being discharged, compared to the national average. They also had lower percentage rates in the number of falls, emergency room visits, and rehospitalizations.
