For the third year in a row, Reformed Church Home has been awarded the Providigm Embracing Quality Award for exceptional achievement in the categories of Deficiency — Free Survey and Customer Satisfaction. With only 302 nursing centers in the United States and Ontario receiving awards in 2015, this puts Reformed Church Home in a select group of high-performing skilled nursing facilities. Reformed Church Home has won this award each year since inception of the Providigm awards program in 2013.
Skilled nursing facilities were only eligible to win a 2015 Embracing Quality Award if they achieved standards for Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) as required by Providigm’s Accreditation Standards for QAPI. These standards ensure that facilities are continuously assessing quality against the full federal regulations in place, while encompassing a substantial proportion of their residents and correcting identified issues.
“The Embracing Quality Awards are given to nursing homes who have not only demonstrated a commitment to quality improvement efforts by achieving QAPI Accreditation, but who have also achieved exceptional and measurable results in the areas of survey performance, readmissions, and satisfaction,” says Miranda Meadow, Providigm’s Accreditation Program manager. “These awards are Providigm’s recognition of that link between effort and outcome.”
Kate Shepard, executive director and administrator at Reformed Church Home, acknowledges, “It is an honor to win the Embracing Quality Award for receiving a deficiency free survey from the state of New Jersey in 2014, and for overall customer satisfaction. It is quite a tribute to the hard work of our employees and their dedication to providing excellent care to our residents, whom we strive to treat like family.”
