WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE SUMMERFIELD?

THE ENVIRONMENT

This is not a sleepy, boring, and old nursing home that some might envision. We are a fast paced Post-Acute Rehab facility with a robust therapy program that caters to patients needing strengthening and reconditioning before transitioning home after an inpatient hospital stay. As a 56 bed facility our smaller size provides a more quaint and "home-like" family environment that allows for a more personalized approach to the delivery of patient care—an environment we feel plays a major role in the healing and speedy recovery of our patients. It also provides a unique opportunity for our staff to build a rapport with our patients and other staff alike that they otherwise would struggle to have in a larger facility. Recent renovations help us stand out amongst our competitors and we expect that you’ll notice right away when entering how clean and inviting our facility is.

THE CASELOAD

Summerfield has worked incredibly hard over the past couple of years to influence our reputation in the community and become the rehab facility of choice. This concentrated effort has enabled us to achieve a preferred partnerstatus with 3 of our local acute care hospital providers which has led to a steady increase in hospital-directed referrals. This has all but eliminated the ebbs and flows that most facilities experience with their rehab caseload and you can look forward to consistency with your hours here at Summerfield.

THE PEOPLE

Our solid core team of therapists work really well together and as you might have experienced before, the people you work with can make a huge difference in your overall job satisfaction. You won’t experience the "turf war" here that you might at other facilities—each of our therapy disciplines are committed to a collaborative approach for meeting our patients rehab goals and our weekly rehab meeting with all therapy staff serves to strengthen this collaboration and greatly influences outcomes. You would be hard pressed to find a better group of therapists who are as committed, compassionate, and enthusiastic as the one’s we have at Summerfield Healthcare. This is the result of focused commitment to a positive employee experience as well as a selective approach to hiring that we feel makes us unique. We hire for personality and potential and deliberately seek out those who we feel will contribute to our culture and steer clear of those who won’t. Rest assured, you will work alongside the best of the best.

THE TRAINING

We are genuinely interested in helping you become the best you can be. Our commitment to this is real and as such, it is an included benefit in your benefits package. We recognize that the better equipped you are, the more you will influence the outcomes for our patients and likewise the results for our facility. To this end, we encourage you to participate in any training and educational opportunities that interest you. Whether it be through additional education, training or providing opportunities to advance.

THE RESOURCES

We have all right equipment, tools, and supplies you need to be successful. We have recently upgraded some of our technology and firmly believe that the right technology allows for greater efficiency and enhances the employee and patient experience and ultimately leads to better quality care for our patients. We even use a HIPPA compliant text messaging application that has streamlined our communication with physicians and management.

THE RESULTS

At Summerfield Healthcare our vision is to be "A Place Where Everyone Wants to Be." These are not just words on the wall; this vision is what defines us, what differentiates us from other facilities in the market, and what has become the driving force for everything that we do. It is our relentless pursuit of this vision that has undoubtedly been the reason for much of the results we have achieved in recent years and has led to continued satisfaction from both patients and staff alike. Here are a few of the results we’ve achieved recently:

  • 5 Star Rating by CMS - 1 of only a few facilities in our market to be rated 5-star overall but also with a 5 star rating in all 3 of the components (Health Inspection, Staffing, and Quality Measures).
  • 1 Deficiency Health Inspection Survey – 1 of only a few facilities to have achieved such a result (CA average is 9.6 deficiencies).
  • Recognized in the top 10 out of 1,153 facilities for "Customer Satisfaction" by National Research Corporation (MyInnerview) who conducted resident satisfaction surveys on our behalf.

In addition, we have been awarded the prestigious Ensign Flag Award and are determined to win it again this year. The award includes a $50,000 reward, half of which is distributed amongst our staff as a bonus, the other half goes towards equipment upgrades, facility renovations, etc. Furthermore, this award differentiates us from our competitors and demonstrates the uniqueness of the experience we provide for our patients and staff.

We are really proud of who we are and the results we have achieved and hope you'll consider joining us in our pursuit of excellence!
