U.S. News & World Report has evaluated over 14,600 skilled nursing facilities across all 50 states, seeking to find the best nursing homes of 2027. Of those facilities evaluated, nearly one in five (or 18%) received a “Best Nursing Home” recognition in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. Fifteen of those nursing homes are in the Wichita area. “ Choosing a nursing home — whether for short-term rehabilitation following a surgery or illness like stroke, or for long-term residency — is one of the most crucial healthcare decisions a family can make,” Jordan Derk, Ph.D., senior care researcher at U.S. News, said in a news release. “The Best Nursing Homes ratings are designed to equip families with transparent quality metrics so they can make confident, informed care decisions alongside their healthcare providers.” To rate the nursing homes, U.S. News said it analyzed data regarding staffing, patients’ health outcomes and government-conducted health and safety outcomes.
