41 RI Nursing Homes Ranked 'Best' By U.S. News
The magazine ranked the homes for overall quality and for quality in short-term care.
U.S. News & World Report has released its latest ratings identifying the nation's top nursing homes. The ratings for 2018-19 include 41 nursing homes in Rhode Island designated as a U.S. News “best."
The homes are rated in two categories: for overall quality and for quality in short-stay rehabilitation, a new addition the ratings, which are now in their ninth year. The "best" designation can be given for either category.
U.S. News explains that the new short-term rating is aimed at providing patients “with a clearer view of the quality of care provided by nursing homes to short-stay patients” who need rehabilitation or nursing services after suffering from an accident or illness.
