Eden Rocks
This just in...
Westwing Place at Genesis Medical Center, DeWitt is one of the highest-ranked senior care facilities in Iowa, according to rankings of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
Westwing Place, a 77-bed facility attached to Genesis Medical Center, DeWitt, scored a maximum of five stars in on-site health inspections, five stars in quality measures, four stars in staffing and five stars in overall quality."One of the main reasons for our success is the quality of our staff. If your staff takes pride in the job they do and the care they provide, that is going to make a difference in the other areas of quality,'' said De Schmidt, Director of Nursing, Genesis Medical Center, DeWitt. "Our staff truly considers the residents to be their family and they treat the residents that way.''
Westwing Place is a certified Eden Alternative Facility. Eden recognizes care facilities for preventing loneliness, helplessness and boredom by creating a vibrant habitat for seniors. Eden facilities use an enlivened environment with opportunities for residents to care for companion animals, children and plants.
Illini Restorative Care, a 75-bed facility located adjacent to Genesis Medical Center, Illini Campus in Silvis received four stars in health inspections, four stars in staffing, three stars in quality measures and four stars in overall quality.
Talented people, hard work, a commitment to well-being and the right philosophy, these are the things that make quality long-term care a reality.
Congrats!
