New York, NY — NYC Health + Hospitals announced that its five skilled nursing facilities have been recognized in the sixth annual Newsweek Best Nursing Homes list for 2025. This prestigious award list ranks four of the five long-term care facilities in the top ten; the fifth facility was ranked in the top 20. For the rankings, Newsweek identified 500 top facilities (with more than 150 beds), across 25 states, with 69 in New York state.
The America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025 ranking lists the nation’s leading nursing homes in the 25 unique states with the highest number of facilities according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The evaluation is based on the following four pillars:
- Performance Data Score: The U.S. Centers for CMS provides monthly updated performance data for each nursing home that participates in Medicare or Medicaid. This data was used to score each nursing home based on health inspections, staffing, and quality measures.
- Reputation Score: Survey participants were asked to name up to ten of the best nursing homes in their respective state and up to five of the best nursing homes in the US. They were asked to recommend nursing homes by considering the quality of care offered, staff training level, and the number of on-duty personnel.
- Accreditation Score: Data on nursing homes provided by The Joint Commission (TJC) and Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
- Resident Satisfaction Score: Evaluations from residents and relatives were included for each nursing home. Based on the available data, nursing homes received a resident satisfaction rating between 0 and 5 stars.
The rankings are designed to assist patients and their families in making informed decisions about where to receive their long-term and post-acute care.
