County officials praise Riverside Rest Home's MDS work as facility lands Newsweek recognition

County commissioners set aside time in their public meeting to hear Riverside Rest Home staff explain how the facility measures resident needs and uses that data to shape care and reimbursement. Linda Lambert, introduced to the board as Riverside's head of MDS, described the tool and its role: "Oh, so it just goes over a bunch of different areas, their ability to do, ADLs, their cognition, their speech, anything they need for toileting needs, that kind of stuff," she said. "And based off of the, the way it's coded, it puts them in certain ranking categories for reimbursement."
