Newsweek names 14 Life Care centers Best Nursing Homes for 2022

Newsweek magazine recently released a list of 2022 Best Nursing Homes, and Life Care Centers of America had 14 facilities receive that honor.

Newsweek based its list on data from Statista Inc., a worldwide data research firm. Statista determined the Best Nursing Homes this year based on a combination of 1) survey results from medical experts, 2) data on staffing, health inspections and quality measures from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services during July and August 2021 and 3) facility response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Twenty-five states were reviewed, and each state had a differing number of Best Nursing Homes listed and ranked. Only nursing facilities with at least a capacity of 150 certified beds were considered.

Newsweek awarded the Best Nursing Home honor to 450 nursing centers out of 11,849 that it analyzed.

“It truly means a lot to Life Care to have so many of our amazing facilities, and the staff they represent, recognized by such a well-known and respected organization as Newsweek,” said Todd Fletcher, Life Care president. “I am very proud of these teams and their dedication to their residents.”
