Nursing centers are evaluated for accreditation based on standards for excellence in continuously improving quality of care and life for nursing home residents. The accreditation standards include measures of the extent to which nursing homes assess the care they provide to their post-hospital and long-term care residents and then correct quality concerns.

“We are proud of the care we give to our residents and the commitment our entire staff shows to the people entrusted to them,” said Amy Metzger, administrator. “This accreditation is acknowledgment that our efforts go above and beyond what is expected. That is always our goal.”

Mason Health and Rehabilitation is located at 900 Provident Drive, Warsaw.
