131 MA Nursing Homes 'Best' In U.S News Ratings
The nursing homes are rated for overall quality as well as for quality of short-term care.
U.S. News & World Report has released its latest ratings identifying the nation's top nursing homes. The ratings for 2018-19 include 131 nursing homes in Massachusetts designated as a U.S. News “best."
The homes are rated in two categories: for overall quality and for quality in short-stay rehabilitation, a new addition the ratings, which are now in their ninth year. The "best" designation can be given for either category.
U.S. News explains that the new short-term rating is aimed at providing patients “with a clearer view of the quality of care provided by nursing homes to short-stay patients” who need rehabilitation or nursing services after suffering from an accident or illness.
