New Rochelle, NY (October 5, 2023) …. Families seeking high-quality skilled nursing care often rely on positive ratings as crucial resources when assessing their care choices. Therefore, it's indeed reassuring to learn that to learn 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 percent of the total U.S. population, with at least 70 percent 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.

Says Ms. Mabli, "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. This acknowledgment from Newsweek further solidifies our reputation for excellence, and we hope it guides families in making these crucial care decisions."

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 over 611 nursing homes in New York State.

Ms. Mabli credits the facility's well-deserved recognition to its committed staff. She states, "We take immense pride in our dedicated team members, who not only set a higher standard of care in Westchester and beyond but also exemplify kindness and compassion in their daily service to our residents. They wholeheartedly embrace our mission, which is to treat residents like family."

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.

The nursing home is part of United Hebrew’s campus of care, which includes skilled nursing, assisted living, Alzheimer’s and dementia care, independent senior housing, and home care.
