Salt Lake City, UT – Six facilities operated by Avalon Health Care have been recognized as some of the “Best Nursing Homes for 2024-2025” by U.S. News & World Report.
The annual Best Nursing Homes ratings assist prospective residents and their families in making informed decisions in consultation with their medical professionals about where to receive short-term or long-term nursing home care. Only 19% of U.S skilled-nursing facilities earned the “Best Nursing Home” designation this year.
The following care centers received the rating of “High-Performing” in Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long-Term Care, or both categories:
The Best Nursing Homes methodology factors data such as resident care, safety, and outcomes. To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home’s performance using a variety of data obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Both short- and long-term ratings include data on consistency of registered nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs, and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well they were staffed on weekends. The short-term rehabilitation rating also includes measures of a home’s success in preventing falls, preventing serious infections, and making sure residents are able to return home.
