59 Life Care Facilities Made U.S. News & World Report's Best Nursing Homes List for 2026

We are excited to announce that 59 Life Care Centers of America facilities made the U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Homes list for 2026!

Every year, U.S. News & World Report reviews skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers nationwide and recognizes the highest performing facilities in the categories of Long-Term Care and Short-Term Rehabilitation.

This year, less than 19 percent of U.S. skilled nursing facilities were named Best Nursing Home in at least one category out of nearly 15,000 facilities evaluated. The 2026 ratings for Rehab and Long-Term Care were expanded to include 17 distinct quality measures that reflect post-acute care quality, consistency in nurse staffing, and patient-centered outcomes.

Of the 59 Life Care facilities that made the list, twenty-seven earned recognitions in both categories!

We are so proud of the following Life Care facilities and all they do to give our patients, residents, and families the very best in care.
