McGuire Health Care Facilities Continue with Highest Rankings in State

BUFFALO - To date, New York State has released two Benchmarking Pool Results ranking 650 facilities using trackable measures of quality. In both reports, Autumn View Health Care Facility in Hamburg led the state with the highest score. In addition, Garden Gate Health Care Facility in Cheektowaga came in one one-hundredth of a point behind Autumn View in the state’s December 2013 ranking. All of The McGuire Group’s facilities, including Harris Hill Nursing Facility in Williamsville, Northgate Health Care Facility in North Tonawanda and Seneca Health Care Center in West Seneca, finished in the top 25 percent in the state.

Going forward, the state will release the Benchmarking results on a yearly basis. The numbers are used to recognize nursing homes for quality of care and take into account various trackable measures including levels of facility staff, government rankings and resident outcome parameters.

“Our outstanding rankings from both the federal and state governments reflect our commitment to invest in the quality of our business and the individuals who make it possible,” stated Jim McGuire, president and CEO. “Whether it’s creating opportunities for employee growth, developing patient care protocols or pioneering programs for broader levels of care, we’ve approached the process with an intrinsic commitment to high standards that have fostered a culture of quality for more than 40 years.”

Over the years, The McGuire Group’s programs have grown in scope and complexity and include 24-hour skilled nursing care, secured memory care units, Journeys palliative care, and respite/short-term care for individuals seeking temporary options for a loved one. In addition, The McGuire Group has invested millions in the redevelopment and expansion of its programs and facilities, turning its traditional health care settings into state-of-the-art environments for intensive subacute and outpatient rehabilitation. This gives patients the opportunity to receive rehab in facilities where the culture of quality and nursing care already exists, yet with less overhead and cost than a typical hospital stay.
