Neshaminy Manor Ranked Among America’s Best Nursing Homes

DOYLESTOWN, PA — Neshaminy Manor, a non-profit nursing home funded in part by the taxpayers of Bucks County, and the federal and state governments, has been named by U.S. News and World Reports as one of America's Best Nursing Homes in 2025.

“We’re very thrilled to get this designation,” said Dr. Dave Damsker, director of the Bucks County Health Department. “It’s based on patient care, patient safety and quality. I can tell you as one of the largest nursing homes in Pennsylvania with 360 residents, that’s a difficult thing to do.

“We’re open 24/7 365 days and the regulations continue to get more and more onerous. We have an amazing staff that continues to work very hard to make it a great place for our residents to be,” said Damsker.

This is the second year in a row the nursing home on Easton Road in Doylestown Township has been selected by U.S. News for the recognition.

“Since 2009, U.S. News' annual Best Nursing Homes analysis has supported American consumers and their families in making more informed decisions about quality of care for their loved ones,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “These facilities set the standard for quality care and should be commended for their commitment to improving the lives of their residents.

"Staffing levels continue to be a major challenge for U.S. nursing homes," Harder added. "U.S. News' latest evaluation reveals the Best Nursing Homes for short-term rehabilitation have an average of 50 percent more total nursing care per resident than facilities rated as below average in short-term rehab, and the Best Nursing Homes for long-term care have double the staff retention rate of nursing homes when compared to underperforming nursing homes."

To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home’s performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News Best Nursing Homes proprietary ratings methodology factors in resident care, safety, outcomes and other aspects of quality – including data on nurse staffing levels, consistency and retention, as well as use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing ER visits.

“I think our nursing home is the number one nursing home in Pennsylvania. I know we’re number one in Bucks County. I’d like to thank everyone over at the nursing home for achieving this designation,” said Bucks County Commissioner Gene DiGirolamo.
