Chaska, Minn. (Nov. 12, 2024) – The Goodman Group is proud to announce that four of its managed communities have been recognized as Best Nursing Homes for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report.
Since 2009, U.S. News’ annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted American families in need of either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care for themselves or a loved one.
Aspire Transitional Care in Flagstaff, Ariz., Gardens at Terracina Health & Rehabilitation in Naples, Fla., The Peaks Health & Rehabilitation in Flagstaff, Ariz., and West Hills Health & Rehabilitation in Portland, Ore., earned their U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for Short-Term Rehabilitation. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News’ proprietary assessment of consistent performance in quality measures.
“I would like to congratulate the four managed communities that have been recognized for receiving the highest rating for Short-Term Rehabilitation,” said Kim Te Brugge, vice president of senior living & health care at The Goodman Group. “Your compassion and commitment to improving the lives of residents and patients shines through each day, and your efforts are so appreciated. Thank you for everything you do for the managed communities. I am proud of the teams for making a true difference in the lives of those we serve.”
For the 2025 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as infection rates; staffing levels; potentially inappropriate reliance on antipsychotic drugs; health inspection results and other indicators of quality.
“U.S. News’ Best Nursing Homes ratings put patient well-being at the forefront and provide families with the objective information they need to make confident decisions about their loved ones’ care,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “These annual ratings recognize U.S. nursing homes that deliver high-quality care, earning consistent positive outcomes, and support American families in finding local nursing homes that prioritize safety and well-being.”
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 methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. Both short- and long-term ratings include data on nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well it was staffed on weekends.
