Two NYC Health + Hospitals skilled nursing facilities have been named the best in the industry, according to U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Nursing Homes” report for 2016-2017. The designation comes as the publication has incorporated new and more demanding standards to measure consistent high quality of care, safety, staffing, and inspections, as well as whether facilities provide appropriate rehabilitation services. NYC Health + Hospitals/Sea View in Staten Island and NYC Health + Hospitals/Gouverneur in Lower Manhattan received the highest ranking among the 15,000 nursing homes U.S. News evaluated across the country.
Two other nursing facilities in the public health care system—NYC Health + Hospitals/Carter in Harlem and NYC Health + Hospitals/McKinney in Brooklyn—also received high rankings, earning four out of five stars.
