The Alabama Nursing Home Association (ANHA) is celebrating a decade of improvements in nursing home resident and family member satisfaction.

As the infographic illustrates, nursing home resident satisfaction levels have increased 15% since 2005. Family member satisfaction with the care their loved one is receiving has increased 20% in the past 10 years. Alabama continues to exceed the national average in these key measures of resident and family satisfaction and engagement.

Alabama-Infographic_2015ANHA and its members embarked on a journey 10 years ago as a voluntary initiative to improve customer satisfaction and provide residents and families an outlet to give their perspective and feedback of skilled nursing care centers. The numbers have been steadily improving since partnering with National Research to perform independent field surveys using My InnerView products.
