Inova Loudoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center Receives Highest Rating from U.S. News & World Report

Washington, D.C. – (March 12, 2013) — Inova Loudoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has received the highest possible overall rating of five stars in U.S. News & World Report’s fifth annual Best Nursing Homes, available exclusively at http://www.usnews.com/best-nursing-homes.

The Best Nursing Homes 2013 ratings highlight the top nursing homes in each city and state, out of nearly 16,000 facilities nationwide. U.S. News’s goal is to help users find a home with a strong track record of good care.

Best Nursing Homes draws on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency that assesses homes in three categories—health inspections, level of nurse staffing, and quality of care—and gives each an overall rating.

U.S. News awarded the “Best Nursing Home” designation to homes that earned an overall rating of five stars from CMS in January 2013.

“This five star designation is an accomplishment. Our staff is dedicated to offering our customers quality care that is among the best in the state and country,” stated Elizabeth Kaeser, RN, MSN, LNHA, Administrator, ILNRC.

Along with the ratings, U.S. News has published a series of articles and a step-by-step video to guide users in choosing the right nursing home. The articles and ratings are exclusive to the website and aren’t expected to appear in print.

“Fewer than one out of every five nursing homes got an overall rating of five stars,” said Avery Comarow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. “All seniors deserve the best nursing care available, and these are homes that merit their consideration by demonstrating such high quality.”

In addition to the highest rating from U.S. News & World Report, ILNRC has been given 5–Star Rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and is nationally recognized by the American Health Care Association. The experienced staff at this 100-bed not-for-profit skilled nursing facility has been providing expert care to Northern Virginia and Loudoun County families for over 30 years.
