Belmont Bay Earns Two Gold Seals of Approval from The Joint Commission

Belmont Bay Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Woodbridge has earned two prestigious Gold Seals of Approval® for its quality care and services from The Joint Commission, the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Located at 14906 Richmond Highway, the 120-bed skilled nursing facility provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care.

Belmont Bay earned its Nursing Care Center Accreditation and Post-Acute Care Certification after a rigorous, unannounced onsite review by the independent, nonprofit organization. During the visit, The Joint Commission team evaluated compliance with performance standards across a range of areas, including emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, and leadership. The Joint Commission’s evidence-based standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement specialists and patients to help health care organizations measure, assess and improve performance. An organization that achieves The Gold Seal of Approval shows its commitment to holding itself accountable to a high bar for quality and safety for those they serve.

“The Joint Commission’s thorough review is patient centric and data driven, with a keen focus on evaluating actual care processes,” said Megan Shilling, regional director of market development at Marquis Health Consulting Services, which supports Belmont Bay. “Earning two Gold Seals from The Joint Commission reflects the Belmont Bay team’s commitment to excellence each and every day.”

The Woodbridge skilled nursing center offers specialty clinical programs designed to meet area healthcare demand. These include Cardiac Care and Pulmonary Care, as well as a Physiatry offering that blends pain treatments and physical therapy with the goal to help patients avoid surgery.

Belmont Bay’s reputation for quality, compassionate care is well established. The center has earned a Five-Star Quality Measures rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). More information on Belmont Bay and its programming can be found at belmontbayrehab.com.
