Covenant Shores Recognized as One of 2012 Best Nursing Homes

U.S News & World Report named Covenant Shores and 38 other assisted living communities to its "2012 Nursing Home Honor Roll".

The nursing home at Covenant Shores retirement community is one of the 39 best in the country according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 Honor Roll, released Feb. 7, 2012.

Out of the 15,500 homes the magazine reviewed, only 39 received four straight quarters of five-star ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in all three areas the agency evaluates – health inspections, nurse staff and quality of care. Those 39 nursing homes comprise the 2012 Honor Roll.

"Our continuing five-star performance reflects the commitment of each employee at our skilled nursing center," says Anne Arakaki-Lock, Covenant Shores executive director. "We’re proud to offer the very best to rehab patients and seniors in the Seattle area."

Riverview Lutheran Care Center, Spokane, was the only other Washington nursing home on the 2012 U.S. News Honor Roll. For a full list, visit the magazine’s website www.usnews.com.

Covenant Shores is a nationally accredited not-for-profit continuing care retirement community located at 9150 Fortuna Drive, Mercer Island, WA. It is administered by Covenant Retirement Communities Inc. on behalf of the Board of Benevolence of the Evangelical Covenant Church.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
