2025 Best Nursing Homes List Released

The U.S. News & World Report's 2025 Best Nursing Homes list highlights top-performing facilities, recognizing fewer than 20% of nearly 15,000 evaluated nursing homes for excellence in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, or both. In Sarasota, nine facilities, including Sarasota Memorial Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, received high marks for their comprehensive care offerings. Similarly, Signature HealthCARE saw eight of its facilities recognized for their dedication to quality care and clinical outcomes. Despite these accolades, U.S. News found nearly half of U.S. nursing homes fail to meet federal staffing requirements, spotlighting ongoing challenges. In Southern New England, several nursing homes achieved high performance ratings, indicating a regional trend towards quality care, while issues persist in areas like Cedar Valley, Iowa, where some facilities received 'below average' ratings due to historical low-quality care. This annual assessment aims to guide consumers in making informed choices about nursing home care for their loved ones.
