Best Nursing Homes in Pennsylvania: U.S. News & World Report

Sixty-five nursing homes in New Jersey are among some of the best in the country, according to a new list out this week from U.S. News & World Report. More than 9 percent of the 699 nursing homes in Pennsylvania were included among the magazine's Best Nursing Homes.

U.S. News evaluated more than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide to come up with the slightly more than 2,000 included in the list of Best Nursing Homes. Millions of Americans will spend at least some time in a nursing home this year, noted Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News.

“Finding a nursing home that meets an individual’s specific needs can be challenging for families,” Kelly said in a release. “Our nursing home ratings are designed to help potential residents and their loved ones navigate this difficult process.”
