Egle Nursing and Rehab Center in Lonaconing was one of only two Maryland nursing facilities awarded a Certificate of Excellence by the Maryland Patient Safety Center for its work on the Center’s Clean Collaborative. The Clean Collaborative is an initiative developed by the Patient Safety Center to improve facility cleanliness and reduce potential infections in the long term care setting. The Maryland Patient Safety Center developed this program during the COVID 19 pandemic in an effort to reduce transmissions. For its efforts, Egle was also awarded $1000 to celebrate with its staff.

 

The facility effort was led by Egle’s Infection Control Nurse, Angel Cole. Angel credits the entire staff for their dedication to cleanliness and preventing facility acquired infections.

 

Egle Nursing and Rehab Center is a five-star 66 bed skilled nursing facility located in Lonaconing, Maryland. It sits on its campus next to the company’s newly opened 16 bed memory care assisted living, The Egle House.
