The methodology for the U.S. News “Best Nursing Home” designation relies on data from Nursing Home Compare at the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Factors included overall performance ratings, as well as ratings for key services over the 12 months ending in October 2016.

California has the highest number of homes on the list for the second year in a row, followed by Ohio and Florida, according to U.S. News. Washington, D.C., Colorado and Delaware have the highest proportion of Best Nursing Homes as compared to the total number of homes evaluated.

U.S. News has also released its new Nursing Home Finder, providing a customizable tool to compare nursing homes based on a variety of factors, including location, distance, Medicare and Medicaid coverage and size.
