U.S. News & World Report’s Evaluation Process
For the 2022-2023 report, U.S. News looked at over 15,000 nursing homes for care, safety, infection rates, staffing and health inspections. Each year, the process is refined based on new criteria considerations. This year the Best Nursing Homes ratings also featured a new measure on weekend staffing and another new measure on infection rates that led to hospitalizations.
The U.S. News badges are awarded by an unbiased trust agent and are widely recognized symbols of excellence in U.S. healthcare. They indicate truly exceptional performance.
Congratulations to the Medicare Team
Receiving this prestigious distinction for a second year in a row is a truly impressive accomplishment by the interdisciplinary Medicare team. Congratulations on this remarkable achievement!
