NYC Health + Hospitals/Carter today celebrated ranking #4 in Newsweek’s list of Best Nursing Homes in New York State. The rankings are based on four critical criteria: performance data, peer recommendations, the handling of the current COVID 19 pandemic and regulatory accreditation. There are over 600 nursing homes in New York State.
“It is a great honor that Carter has earned the #4 ranking on Newsweek’s list of ‘Best Nursing Homes’ out of over 600 nursing homes in New York State,” said Floyd Long, CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals/Carter. “This year’s ranking is our best to date which demonstrates our commitment of excellence in the provision of quality post-acute care services. This would not have been possible without our staff providing compassionate, person centered care and embracing a culture of safety. It is our plan to continue to improve our performance and remain a high-performing organization as we play a vital role in the NYC Health + Hospitals mission.”
“We are grateful for Newsweek’s recognition of Carter Skilled Nursing Facility being top nursing homes in the state for 2023.
