The Pearl at Kruse Way Recognized for Quality Care

LAKE OSWEGO, Ore., March 12, 2020 (Newswire.com) - ​The American Health Care Association recognized The Pearl at Kruse Way for quality care as part of the Quality Initiative Recognition Program. 

To earn this prestigious recognition, the rehabilitation communities must meet one or more of the AHCA Quality Initiative goals: 

• Safely reduce long and short-stay hospitalizations  
• Improve long or short-stay satisfaction or achieve over a 90% satisfaction rate 
• Safely reduce off-label use of antipsychotics  
• Improve short-stay functional improvement or long-stay worsening mobility, or maintain greater than 75% on short-stay functional improvement and less than 25% on long-stay worsening mobility  

The healthcare organizations are divided into four tiers, based on how many goals are met. The Pearl at Kruse Way ranked in tier one.  

“Earning this distinguished recognition shows our staff cares deeply about our patients’ and residents’ lives,” said Brad Litle, Division President of Skilled Nursing Facilities for Avamere Living. “I’m proud of their dedication to living our mission to enhance the life of every person we serve.”
