“Choosing a nursing home is an important and often emotional decision. This recognition gives residents and families another clear indicator to consider as they evaluate their options,” said DeeAndra Sandgren, Good Samaritan chief nursing officer. “We hope it prompts families to take a closer look, ask questions and get to know the people who would be caring for their loved one. Our nurses, caregivers and support teams take the utmost pride in delivering high-quality care to our residents and it is truly a privilege to care for our nation’s seniors.”
To be recognized as one of the 2027 U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Homes, a nursing home must be rated “high-performing” in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. Ratings are based on an assessment of 17 quality measures, including staffing levels, health outcomes and survey results. U.S. News analyzed data at more than 14,000 nursing homes.
