The Three Palms Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, part of the East Ridge life plan community, recently received a prestigious five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, the federal administrative support agency for 65-and-older U.S. citizens.
The rating system has one overall five-star rating for nursing homes and a separate rating for each of the three sources of information: health inspections, staffing and quality of resident care measures.
East Ridge received the overall five-star rating from CMS, and this is the first time Three Palms has achieved this rating. For staffing and quality of resident care, Three Palms received a five-star rating “much above average ratings.” In Miami Dade County — from Homestead to North Miami Beach — 46 nursing homes were evaluated, and Three Palms was one of only 19 nursing homes to receive a five-star rating.
“Selecting a nursing home typically comes at a time of crisis for a family. Having this rating system and East Ridge’s track record is certainly helpful,” said Desiree Sebastian, director of Health Services for the community. “The Three Palms team celebrates this five-star rating as it truly reflects their dedication. Residents at East Ridge are also proud knowing the community’s center is well rated.”
The five-star quality rating system was created by CMS to help consumers, families and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily and assist them with research options.
Three Palms offers both short-term recovery and rehabilitation services as well as long-term care services focused on an individual’s emotional and physical well-being. Three Palms is open to both residents of East Ridge and extended to the general public. One does not need to live at East Ridge to use the services of Three Palms Health Center.
