Hughes Health & Rehabilitation Recognized as One of America’s Best Nursing Homes for Fourth Consecutive Year

For the fourth consecutive year, Hughes Health & Rehabilitation has been selected a Best Nursing Home in America by U.S News & World Report. 

The Best Nursing Homes 2014 ratings highlight the top nursing homes in each city and state, out of nearly 16,000 facilities nationwide. U.S. News’ goal is to help the millions of Americans who will spend time in a nursing home in 2014 find a home with a strong track record of good care.

“Providing a caring environment with a standard of quality that is never compromised is our benchmark at Hughes,” said Mark Finkelstein, vice president of Hughes Health & Rehabilitation.  ”To be acknowledged by U.S News & World Report for four consecutive years is a testament to the continuing commitment to our mission by everyone associated with Hughes.”

Best Nursing Homes draws on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal agency that assesses homes in three categories—health inspections, level of nurse staffing, and quality of care—and gives each an overall rating.  U.S. News awarded the “Best Nursing Home” designation to homes that earned an overall rating of five stars from CMS in January 2014.

“The rising number of five-star homes is encouraging,” says Avery Comarow, U.S. News health rankings editor. “It speaks to care that is steadily becoming more skilled and compassionate.”
