CHASKA, MINN. (Nov. 10, 2026) – The Goodman Group is proud to announce that seven of its managed communities have been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2027 by U.S. News & World Report.

For nearly 20 years, since 2009, U.S. News’ annual Best Nursing Homes analysis has served as an independent, data-driven guide for families navigating short-term rehabilitation or comprehensive long-term care choices.

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 a High Performing rating – the highest distinction awarded by U.S. News – reflecting outstanding quality in Short-Term Rehabilitation. Sabal Palms Health & Rehabilitation in Largo, Fla., The Village Health & Rehabilitation in Missoula, Mont., and Westchester Gardens Health & Rehabilitation in Clearwater, Fla., earned a High Performing rating for outstanding quality in Long-Term Care.

Recognizing only 18% of evaluated facilities across the nation for 2027, U.S. News’ Best Nursing Homes designation reflects a high standard of care. This designation is reserved only for skilled nursing facilities that satisfy U.S. News’ rigorous, proprietary assessment criteria demonstrating a consistent and superior commitment to quality patient and resident care.

“It is a great honor to congratulate seven of our managed communities on their recognition from U.S. News & World Report,” said Kim Te Brugge, vice president of senior living & health care at The Goodman Group. “This achievement is a reflection of the incredible people who bring compassion, dedication and a commitment to quality care to those they serve. We are proud of their hard work and grateful for the meaningful difference they make in the lives of residents and patients each day.”

For the 2027 edition, U.S. News evaluated more than 14,600 nursing homes in the United States, assessing key indicators such as hospital readmission rates, staffing levels, health inspection results and other indicators of quality. The 2027 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes ratings rely on a comprehensive evaluation framework, assessing 17 distinct quality measures across both Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care categories to deliver a thorough analysis of overall nursing home quality.

“Earning a High Performing rating from U.S. News reflects a continuous, facility-wide commitment to superior resident care,” said Jordan Derk, Ph.D., senior care researcher at U.S. News. “When families see this distinction, they can feel confident that this skilled nursing facility has demonstrated exceptional outcomes.”

For patients and families evaluating their options, choosing a skilled nursing facility recognized by U.S. News with a Best Nursing Home designation provides a trusted starting point to discuss in consultation with their healthcare provider.
