Lorien’s Columbia location placed #13 in Maryland on the magazine’s inaugural list.
Lorien Health Services, a family-owned nursing home, assisted living, rehabilitation and residential services company, made Newsweek’s 2020 Best Nursing Homes list. Lorien’s Columbia location placed 13th in Maryland on the inaugural ranking.
Newsweek partnered with global data research firm Statista Inc. to establish a ranking of Best Nursing Homes, analyzing more than 15,000 nursing homes across the country. The premier news magazine recognized award-winners in 20 states.
“Lorien is known for our technological advances and industry innovations in Maryland. To be nationally recognized for our approach to serving our community is, of course, a great honor,” said Eric Grimmel, Lorien Health Services’ Columbia Administrator.
According to Newsweek, by 2030, the 65+ demographic will account for more than 20 percent of U.S. residents, and studies say that 70 percent of them will need some kind of long-term care. The oldest baby boomers are already in their 70s.
“The need for safe and reliable elder care is only growing. Beloved elders deserve the best care their families can provide. We hope the rankings here can help make these difficult decisions easier,” stated Nancy Cooper, Newsweek’s Global Editor in Chief.
Lorien Health Services operates nursing home and assisted living facilities in Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard counties. The company also offers Lorien at Home and Lorien Rehabilitation and Fitness services as an extension of the communities.
Earlier this month, Lorien Health Services received the top award nationally from McKnight’s “Excellence in Technology Awards.” Lorien’s emphasis on quality care won the company Gold in the skilled care division of the annual competition. In 2019, Lorien was voted “Best Elder Care” company in The Baltimore Sun and “Best Assisted Living Facility” in The Daily Record. It was also named a “Health Care Hero” by The Daily Record for its advancements in nursing care.
“Our primary goal always has, and always will be, to improve the quality of care we provide and the quality of our patients’ lives,” added Lou Grimmel, Lorien Health Services’ CEO. “We are certainly proud to be acknowledged – locally, nationally, and within our industry – and we will continue to push to make our buildings better, and to help our residents be healthier and happier.”
