Local health care facilities win Quality Awards

Williamsburg Health & Rehabilitation Center was named a “Best of Kentucky” nursing and rehabilitation facility during the Kentucky Association of Health Care Facilities (KAHCF) Quality Awards Banquet at the Galt House in Louisville on November 21.

“We’re proud that our facility was recognized as a Best of Kentucky award recipient and we’re also honored to have the KAHCF #1 caregiver, Amanda Fredericks, representing our facility”, said Williamsburg HRC Administrator Laura Creekmore.

The Best of Kentucky – Nursing and Rehabilitation honorees were selected based on CMS star ratings of four or higher to apply, and then satisfaction surveys of residents and families.

“It is a privilege to honor caregivers for the outstanding care and devotion they show every day to their residents.”

“These honorees are an example of the many Kentucky providers and caregivers delivering quality care,” said KAHCF Board Chair Chris Page.
