Recognized for Outstanding Outcomes Over the Past Year

CORNING, N.Y., Sept. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Corning Center, a Centers Health Care Skilled Nursing Facility offering comprehensive rehabilitation services for short‑ and long‑term care residents, has been awarded a prestigious five‑star overall, five-star health, and five-star quality measures rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS created the Five-Star Quality Rating System to help consumers, their families, and caregivers compare nursing homes more easily. Five-star rated facilities are considered to have significantly above average quality.

"We are proud to receive this five-star rating from CMS," said Kenny Rozenberg, CEO of Centers Health Care. "It reflects the dedication and compassion of our entire team, under the strong leadership of our administrator, Kayleigh Smith, to provide exceptional care to every resident. This recognition motivates us to continue raising the bar in quality and to ensure our community feels at home in every sense."

Corning Center fosters a welcoming community in the heart of Corning, New York, where residents and families work together toward renewed strength and well-being. Through strong internal and external partnerships, the facility offers a full spectrum of services – from 24/7 physician access, specialized wound care, and therapy services to in-house dentistry, respiratory care, optometry, podiatry, psychiatric support, pharmacy consulting, and diagnostic imaging – ensuring patients receive seamless, comprehensive care under one roof. Under Ms. Smith's expert guidance, the Center has experienced an unprecedented increase in quality. Achievements include:

• In the past year, 92 patients successfully completed their rehabilitation and returned home to their communities and loved ones;
• The facility stands out with rehospitalization and ER visit rates that are significantly lower than the national average;
• For more than four years, the facility has earned zero deficiencies in complaint surveys and for over five years, including throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, has remained free of any infection control tags from the New York State Department of Health;
• The facility has achieved a zero percent rate of in-house acquired or worsening pressure injuries for the past two consecutive quarters.

In addition to advancing clinical care, Corning Center prioritizes residents' well-being by incorporating lively music during the day and creating engaging events that connect families and the surrounding community.

"We put great emphasis on creating a supportive and welcoming atmosphere where residents and their families feel truly cared for," said Smith. "By blending high-quality clinical care with engaging programs and a positive environment, we aim to enrich each resident's daily experience and foster a sense of community."
