Salem Home rated among best

In a recent U.S. News & World Report article, Salem Home in Hillsboro was ranked among the nation’s best nursing homes.

The distinction was earned based on data collected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, including information on health inspection results, staffing, and quality measures for all nursing facilities to create a Five Star rating system on its nursing home compare website.

Salem Home has regularly been listed as a five-star home on the CMS website, but inclusion in the U.S. News article brings the attention of a much larger audience. It was among the 26 percent of Kansas homes that were listed.

“Since my arrival, I’ve been impressed with the caring and compassion demonstrated by our staff,” said Chief Executive Officer Kris Erickson. “Being included in this list is a great reminder that we are doing something good for our community.”
