Dear family and friends of the Methodist Home,

  

In this month's newsletter you will find information about a recent program we hosted, as well as information on upcoming events and activities. To view a complete listing of this month's activities, click here or visit the Special Events tab on our website.

 

A particularly important announcement:

 

US News and World Report in their "Best Nursing Homes Rankings" acknowledged the Methodist Home of DC with a perfect five star rating.  Their rankings are based on annual unannounced site visits and surveys conducted by CMS, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The Methodist Home's skilled nursing care facility earned an overall five star rating and achieved a perfect five star score in each of the three main sub categories: Health Inspections, Nurse Staffing and Quality Measures. The Methodist Home was the only skilled nursing facility in the metropolitan DC region to receive the perfect score.  

 

Our Nursing Facility staff has done an excellent job ensuring that every resident is receiving the best possible person-centered care. This honor, however, is not just for our great nursing department but reflects the efforts of our entire team including Social Work, Activities, Maintenance, Housekeeping, Dining Services and Admissions. We are fortunate to have such a highly professional and dedicated staff.

Thank you for your continued support of the Methodist Home. We look forward to seeing you around!

  

All my best, 

The program had a diverse group of professionals in attendance, and received very positive feedback. Seabury Resources for Aging commented that "the content was informative and the environment that Dr. [Imani] Woody and Jane [Lincoln, LICSW] created fostered open communication in a "safe" place. Each panelist brought a unique perspective that added a richness to the program."
