"Courtney Manor epitomizes the Ciena commitment to quality care and we are very proud of the entire Courtney Manor team."
Skilled nursing facilities nominated for the award are judged in four categories: best practices, facility operations, internal and external relationships and an on-site evaluation. Criteria include annual licensure and certification inspection reports, complaint investigation reports, innovative resident care services, staff development, relationships with families of residents and employees, continuum of care, quality of life and care, food services and environmental services. Courtney Manor achieved the highest combined ranking for all categories, in an evaluation process that began in April.
"Our team is dedicated, compassionate and truly loves their work," said Kay Peruski, administrator, Courtney Manor. "It is wonderful to receive this recognition for the hard work and exceptional resident care Courtney Manor provides day in and day out."
