United Hebrew of New Rochelle has been ranked by “Newsweek” among the nation’s best. Of the 12,273 nursing homes evaluated, only 750 made the magazine’s list of “2024 Best Nursing Homes.” It’s the third year in a row United Hebrew has been included on the list, which provides important guidance to families and medical providers searching for a nursing home of the highest quality.
The population of Americans aged 65 and older is on the rise. By the year 2030, this age group will make up over 20% of the total U.S. population, with at least 70% of them requiring long-term care, as reported by the Federal Administration on Aging. Rita Mabli, president and CEO of United Hebrew, emphasizes the significance of choosing the right nursing home for beloved family members. “For more than a century, United Hebrew has been a dependable source of assistance during critical times, offering care that genuinely enhances the lives of our residents…, she said.
The ratings aim to provide families with a clearer view of the quality of care provided by nursing homes. A total of 750 top facilities in 25 states were ranked, including 58 of the more than 611 nursing homes in New York state.
The rankings, produced by Newsweek in partnership with Statista, are based on five data sources: performance data, peer recommendations, management of Covid-19, resident satisfaction and accreditations. For the first time, resident satisfaction data for nursing homes, based on National Safety Goals from The Joint Commission and Google Scores, has been added to the scoring model. Nursing homes in the 25 states with the highest number of facilities, according to the centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for 2023, were included in the study.
A vibrant not-for-profit, nonsectarian, multiservice campus of comprehensive care nestled on 7.5 acres, United Hebrew has been serving the Westchester metropolitan area since 1919, and today, serves more than 1,000 residents and clients daily on its Harry and Jeannette Weinberg Campus and within the Westchester community.
