The Joint Commission, also known as JCAHO, is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in healthcare. Achieving accreditation is not mandatory for skilled nursing centers, but Providence appreciates the commitment to quality that The Joint Commission’s standards represent, so Providence skilled nursing centers gladly apply. All of our rehabilitation centers in Illinois have earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval as well as a special certification in post-acute care.

Each of our Skilled Nursing facilities have been certified as Vohra Wound Physicians Centers of Excellence for Wound Management. The Center of Excellence in Wound Management was created to highlight and identify facilities that have developed a superior wound management program. To receive this award, we have met the following criteria: Less than 1% wound related hospitalization rate; Vohra wound physician rounding with an average wound census of more than 5 patients per week; Regular team meetings with a focus on Quality and Process Improvement (QAPI); Designated Vohra wound care certified nurse with availability 7 days a week.
