Lutheran Village at Miller's Grant Best Nursing Home by U.S News

Lutheran Village at Miller’s Grant is among the 21% of U.S. skilled nursing facilities that have been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2020-21 by U.S. News & World Report.

The home earned Best Nursing Homes status by achieving a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for LVMG’s short-term rehabilitation. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those homes that satisfy U.S. News’s assessment of the appropriate use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures.

“We are very pleased for this recognition,” stated LVMG’s Executive Director Michelle Rosenheim. “Based on the positive feedback we routinely receive from residents and families, we know we have a great team physical, occupational and speech therapists and nurses, who are also a part of the rehab process. All provide a quality experience and highly developed care.”

LVMG’s rehabilitation services include aquatic therapy, balance system and virtual reality therapy, home safety, Lee Silverman Voice Treatment BIG & Loud®, musculoskeletal/orthopedic dysfunctional care, post-surgical rehabilitation, post stroke therapy and more.

Now in its 11th year, the U.S. News Best Nursing Homes ratings and profiles offer comprehensive information about care, safety, health inspections, staffing and more for nearly all of the nation’s 15,000-plus nursing homes. The Best Nursing Homes ratings reflect U.S. News’ exclusive analysis of publicly available data using a methodology defined by U.S. News that evaluates factors that it has determined most greatly impact patient and resident care, safety, and outcomes. This year, to accompany the new ratings, nursing home profile pages were updated to include a patient safety summary that reflects COVID-19 data alongside other measurements of safety and related advice on choosing a home or facility amidst the pandemic.

“U.S. News strives to provide access to information that allows consumers to make educated decisions on all types of care,” said Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “Updating the profiles to include a patient safety summary that highlights COVID-19 data paired with other measures of care arms families, caregivers and patients with the information needed to make a decision that keeps safety at the highest priority.”

The Best Nursing Home finder features ratings on both short and long-term care. The short-term rating incorporates measures of quality including consistency of registered nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing falls.
