“More than 2,000 nursing homes earn top U.S. News ratings,” by Danielle Brown, McKnight’s LTC News

 

Quote:

“High vaccination rates among staff and patient safety standards were among the common characteristics of thousands of nursing homes recognized as the “best” in the nation, according to ratings released today by U.S. News & World Report. … More than 1,060 nursing homes, out of the 13,175 assessed, were designated as high-performing in the long-term care rating. Out of 13,500 facilities, about 1,650 were ranked as high-performing in the short-term rating. … The full ratings list can be found here.”

LTC Comment, Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform:

I’m not sure only 8% of nursing homes designated as high-performing is all that encouraging.
