U.S. News & World Report honors 47 Life Care facilities

On Nov. 9, 2021, U.S. News & World Report released its 2021-2022 Best Nursing Home results, including naming 47 Life Care Centers of America facilities.

Nursing and rehab centers nationwide were rated in Long-Term Care and Short-Stay Rehab categories, with a few achieving both. According to Mark White, vice president of specialty marketing at U.S. News, only 13 percent of U.S. nursing homes earned a badge.

White shared on Nov. 2, “Life Care Centers of America has more badge-eligible homes than any other organization in the country.”

This year, U.S. News & World Report added a new criterion to be considered as a Best Nursing Home: a staff COVID-19 vaccination rate of at least 75%. Before the end of the year, the publication will review updated vaccination rates and update the list of Best Nursing Homes accordingly.
