San Francisco, California, Sept. 17, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tunnell Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center announced today that, as of July 1, it is a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) five-star skilled nursing facility. This comes only two years following its acquisition by Generations Healthcare. When Generations purchased the facility, it was a two-star facility. Within the first year, Generations Healthcare raised the star rating to four stars. With its current rating, Tunnell now sits among the top 10 percent of all skilled nursing facilities in California in terms of quality patient outcomes.
Every year, CMS reports hospital and healthcare facility ratings on a scale of one to five stars. This year, Tunnell reaped the rewards of significant investments in capital and personnel spent over the last two years. Tunnell received high marks in all three of CMS’s rating criteria: health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.
Generations Healthcare has worked hard to imbue its core values and high standards of patient care to the Tunnell team. Significantly, this year marks Generations' second consecutive year as a certified Great Place to Work.
“Healthcare is a total experience,” says Starry Hang, Tunnell’s administrator. “Our new and improved facility will help provide our patients with that total care that will change lives.”
Soon, Tunnell Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation will rebrand as City View Post Acute Center. This new name will complete the transformation, reflecting the Generations Healthcare spirit of consistent improvement and high standards of quality care. City View Post Acute will be distinguished by its total patient care approach.
