A 130-year-old North Baltimore nursing home was recently recognized for being among the best in the United States by a national publication.
Keswick Multi-Care Center, located on 40th Street, was on a list of the nation's best nursing homes published by U.S. News & World Report in February, according to a news release.
The North Baltimore nursing home was ranked 5-stars overall for 2012.
The rankings are based on a five-star ranking system from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for overall performance in health inspections, nurse staffing, and quality of medical care, the release states.
Of the 228 Maryland nursing homes listed on the U.S. News & World Report site, only 55 earned a 5-star rating.
"We work hard each day to provide the highest level of care available," said Carmel Roques, Keswick Multi-Care CEO, in a news release. "This recognition confirms our commitment to providing the best possible experience for our guests"
