from The Joint Commission
Brighton, MA – Brighton House Rehabilitation and Nursing Center has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Nursing Care Center Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
Brighton House recently underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with Nursing Care Center standards spanning several areas, including emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, leadership, medication management, and rights and responsibilities for the individual.
The Joint Commission’s standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. They are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help health care organizations measure, assess, and improve performance. The surveyors also conducted onsite observations and interviews.
“As a healthcare accreditor, The Joint Commission works with healthcare organizations across care settings to inspire safer and higher quality of care that is more equitable and compassionate,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of Accreditation and Certification Operations and chief nursing officer, The Joint Commission. “Through collaborating on innovative solutions and evidence-based resources and tools, The Joint Commission helps drive improvement while maintaining accountability through our leading survey methods and standards. We commend Brighton House for its commitment to advance safety, quality, equity and compassion for all patients.”
"Brighton House is proud to receive accreditation from The Joint Commission, the premier health care quality improvement and accrediting body in the country,” added Barry Edward, Executive Director at Brighton House Rehab and Nursing Center. “Earning this accreditation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our talented staff and their commitment to providing quality care to our residents.”
