U.S. News and World Report
Finding trustworthy care as we age can be challenging—you want to be sure that you or your loved ones are well-cared for during this new stage of life. Nursing homes offer essential support, providing general care and medical assistance for those who need help with daily activities. The need for such services is expected to rise.
Nursing homes offer either short- or long-term care and offer assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, medication management, rehabilitation and chronic disease management.
The latest edition recognizes fewer than 20% of the evaluated U.S. nursing homes as "Best Nursing Homes" in "Short-Term Rehabilitation," "Long-Term Care," or both. More specifically, 1,637 U.S. cities (out of 5,147) and 715 U.S. counties (out of 1,687) have at least one "Best Nursing Home."
