Bishop Wicke rehabilitation facility in Shelton wins recognition
SHELTON - Bishop Wicke Health and Rehabilitation Center on the Wesley Village senior living campus was named a Top Performing facility in U.S. News & World Report’s 2018-19 Best Nursing Homes ratings.
The information is available exclusively at http://www.usnews.com/best-nursing-homes.
For the first time this year, U.S. News is giving facilities two ratings - one for the overall quality of the home, and the other a new “short-stay rehab rating.”
The ratings were based on U.S News & World Report’s in-depth analysis of data from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, including data not factored into CMS’s star ratings.
Only 19 percent of U.S. nursing homes earned at least one badge; some, including Bishop Wicke, earned both.
Bishop Wicke offers short-term rehab and skilled nursing care, including specialized programs for surgical recovery, orthopedics, cardiac and respiratory rehab, heart failure, and more.
The facility is located on the Wesley Village Campus, 584 Long Hill Ave. and is owned and operated by United Methodist Homes, a local, not-for-profit organization.
