US News names 2020-21 Best Nursing Homes: Humboldt County Memorial Hospital Long Term Care

Humboldt County Memorial Hospital Long Term Care has received another overall rating of 5 out of 5 and a long term care rating of High Performing from the U.S. News and World Report Best Nursing Home. This rating evaluates the home's ability to care for residents who need daily assistance with medical needs such as administering medications and non-medical needs such as dressing, eating and using the bathroom.

U.S. News and World Report published its 11th annual 2020-2021 Best Nursing Home rankings on Oct. 27. This year's rankings include COVID-19 data and other safety measurements, including infection control violations and vaccination rates on a new patient safety summary feature on nursing home profile pages. This ranking uses publicly available federal data as of July from the CMS Nursing Home Compare website to evaluate more than 15,000 nursing homes. U.S. News recognized 3,277 facilities as its "Best Nursing Homes" out of the more than 15,000 evaluated.  

All nursing homes receive three rankings: a "short-term" ranking based on the quality of rehabilitation care for patients recovering from a hospital stay; a '"long-term" ranking that evaluates a home's care for residents who need daily assistance; and an "overall' ranking which averages short and long-term rankings. HCMH’s Long Term Care is a “long-term” home therefore it only received a “long-term” ranking and overall ranking. To receive this label, a facility must have been "high performing" in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. 

Humboldt County Memorial Hospital would like to give a deserving thanks to our staff and families for their efforts and current success in overcoming the pandemic in Humboldt County. Management and staff have done an exceptional job in implementing policies and procedures early to combat the disease and protect their residents.

“This has not been an easy eight months for the staff or residents, however our teamwork and perseverance have kept everyone safe and healthy” Heather MacLeod, RN, Director of Nursing

“I enjoy getting to know the residents and how they like things done. I love my coworkers and residents because without them, I wouldn’t be here” Dani Glissman, 4 Year RN at Long Term Care
