Leading the Way in 2025: Newsweek’s Best Nursing Homes in America

America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025 One of the challenges of aging is finding the right care from sources that you trust—you want to know that you or your loved ones are in good hands during a new phase of life. Nursing homes can provide crucial services for those who need general care or medical assistance in their day-to-day lives. In fact, there were an estimated 1.2 million nursing home residents across the country in 2023, according to global data research firm Statista. That number is expected to increase.
To assist seniors and their loved ones in considering long-term care options, Newsweek and Statista are partnering for the fourth year to rank America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025. This year’s list recognizes 1,050 nursing homes across the 25 states with the highest number of facilities, according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data. The top nursing homes in each state were assessed and ranked based on four pillars: performance data, recommendations of medical professionals, accreditations and resident satisfaction. We hope this list helps you find the best available care options for you or your loved ones.
