“Top 25 cities for best and worst nursing homes listed,” by Marty Stempniak, McKnight’s LTC News

“Technology company Family Assets released its rankings cities for nursing home residents by looking at user-generated reviews of facilities. … Based on that methodology, Family Assets crowned Evansville, IN, as the city with the best-rated nursing homes, with about 80% of reviews labeled as ‘good.’ Rounding out the top five are Topeka, KS; Bakersfield, CA; Colorado Springs, CO; and Glendale, CA, which all hovered around 80%. Meanwhile, on the negative side, Atlanta landed at the bottom, with nearly 60% of its reviews labeled as ‘bad.’ Others in the bottom five included Livonia, MI; Albuquerque, NM; San Bernardino, CA; and Las Vegas. Nevada was also named the overall worst state for nursing home life, with about 47% of reviews in the ‘bad’ category, while South Dakota was the best, boasting an 84% positivity ranking.”

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

The good, the bad and the ugly nursing homes.
