Missouri’s Best Nursing Homes: New U.S. News Ratings

MISSOURI — U.S. News & World Report has released its latest ratings identifying top nursing homes in every state. The ratings for 2018-19 include 52 nursing homes in Missouri designated as a U.S. News “best nursing home.”

The homes are given an overall rating as well as a short-stay rehabilitation rating, a new addition to the ratings now in their ninth year.

U.S. News explains that the new rehab 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.

U.S. News evaluated 520 nursing homes in Missouri and named the following 52 as the best.

"Several million Americans will spend at least some time in a nursing home this year, whether undergoing rehab after a hospital stay or as long-term residents," Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News, said in a press release. "Finding a nursing home that meets an individual's specific needs can be overwhelming. The Best Nursing Home ratings are designed to help potential residents and their families navigate this important decision.”

Overall, 2,975 nursing homes were included in U.S. News’ ratings. More than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide were evaluated to arrive at the list. (You can read U.S. News’ methodology on how overall ratings and short-stay ratings are calculated here.)
