Knollwood Receives CMS 5-Star Rating for Nursing Homes

At Knollwood Nursing Center, we are committed to providing the highest level of care to our residents, which is why we are proud to announce that we have been awarded a 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the highest possible rating in the CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System. Even more impressively, Knollwood has consistently maintained this 5-star rating for over a decade. This recognition reflects our never-ending dedication to excellence in nursing care, staffing, and overall quality.

What Does the CMS 5-Star Rating for Nursing Homes Mean?

The CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System was designed to help individuals and families compare nursing homes more easily. Ratings are based on three key areas:

• Health Inspections – Evaluations from state health inspections assess safety and quality compliance.
• Staffing – Measures the level of care provided by nursing staff, including registered nurses (RNs).
• Quality Measures – Tracks residents’ overall health and well-being, considering clinical and physical outcomes.

Facilities that receive an overall 5-star rating are considered to provide well above-average care, setting a standard for excellence in the industry.

Knollwood’s Commitment to Exceptional Care

This recognition is a testament to our dedicated team of healthcare professionals whose mission is to provide compassionate, personalized care for our residents. Whether for sub-acute care or long-term skilled nursing, our focus remains on enhancing quality of life, promoting independence, and ensuring a supportive and comfortable environment.

At Knollwood, we provide a range of services tailored to meet the varied needs of our residents. Our sub-acute care program helps individuals recover from surgery, illness, or injury with specialized physical, occupational, and speech therapy. We take a holistic approach to recovery, ensuring that each resident receives individualized therapy plans designed to restore mobility, improve strength, and rebuild confidence in daily activities, ensuring a smooth and safe recovery process. Our sub-acute care team works closely with residents and their families to create personalized recovery plans to bridge the gap between hospital and home, helping patients regain their independence as quickly and safely as possible.

For those needing long-term skilled nursing, we offer round-the-clock medical care in a nurturing environment focusing on dignity and well-being. Our skilled nursing team provides expert care for chronic conditions, medication management, and support for activities of daily living. We also prioritize social engagement and recreational activities, ensuring residents maintain an active and fulfilling lifestyle.
