The Brother Bonaventure Team was treated to lunch by the Trinitas Health Foundation to celebrate their latest accomplishment.
Brother Bonaventure Extended Care & Rehabilitation Center, a not-for-profit skilled nursing center affiliated with Trinitas Regional Medical Center, has received a Five Star Quality rating from the federal government's Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
“Congratulations to the team at Brother Bonaventure,” says Christiana Enworom, RN MSN CDP CMDP LNHA, Administrator of Brother Bonaventure Extended Care Center. “Thank you for all your hard work. We are very proud of our wonderful team. We did it!”
Located at 655 W. Jersey St. in Elizabeth, Brother Bonaventure is a 124-bed skilled and nursing facility that provides 24-hour licensed nursing care and support for individuals who require long-term care or sub-acute care before returning home.
The Five Star Rating System is meant to assist consumers, their families and caregivers in comparing nursing homes. CMS uses its own database, Health Inspection, and a national database known as Minimum Data Set (MDS) to compile its ratings. The CMS database includes information obtained from state inspections of nursing homes and staffing levels at facilities. The MDS is an assessment done at regular intervals on every resident in Medicare- or Medicaid-certified nursing homes.
Information is collected about the residents’ health, physical functioning, mental status, and general well-being which is then used to assess each resident’s needs and develop a plan of care. CMS publishes information on its webpage about every Medicare- and Medicaid-certified nursing home in the country, including more than 15,000 nationwide, to encourage consumer comparison of nursing homes.
“We are very proud of this quality rating as well as the fact that Brother Bonaventure has been nationally recognized as one of the best nursing homes/short stay rehabs,” says Gary S. Horan, FACHE, President & Chief Officer of Trinitas. “All employees work together to provide individualized care to help long-term and sub-acute patients recover from various medical and orthopedic conditions. It’s wonderful to have their hard work and commitment to quality care recognized.”
