MANKATO, MN (November 17, 2022) — Ecumen Pathstone in Mankato, Minn., has received a “Best Nursing Home Short-Term Rehabilitation” rating for its short-term rehabilitation center by U.S. News & World Report magazine. The magazine evaluated more than 15,000 facilities throughout the country, rating most of them in the areas of short-term rehabilitation and long-term care. Ecumen Pathstone received a “high performance” rating — the highest designation possible — in short-term rehabilitation.
“We are honored to be once again named by the U.S. News & World Report as one of the best nursing homes in short-term rehabilitation in Minnesota. This achievement is a direct reflection of our amazing team members who provide excellent care to our patients. Our team members are the true recipients of this honor,” said Rachael Evers, Executive Director of Ecumen Pathstone. “Whether it’s for our outstanding short-term rehab, skilled nursing, our assisted living or new independent living apartments, we are grateful to our Mankato community for trusting us for the past 85 years,” Evers said.
U.S. News compiles its rating information in a national Nursing Home Finder that offers comprehensive information about care, safety, health inspections, staffing and more for almost all nursing homes in the country. This tool provides customized searches for nursing homes by location, Medicare and Medicaid coverage, Alzheimer’s care and size. The Nursing Home Finder reflects U.S. News’ analysis of data collected and published by the federal government using a methodology defined by U.S. News.
Since their inception in 2009, the U.S. News Best Nursing Home ratings have relied on data from Nursing Home Compare, a program run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the federal agency that sets and enforces standards for nursing homes.
