BOSTON, MA — Boston was named one of the top 20 metropolitan areas in the country for best nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities, according to U.S. News & World Report rankings.
The 2026 ratings include 17 quality measures for both short-term and long-term care facilities.
The new edition evaluates nearly 15,000 U.S. nursing homes and recognizes fewer than 19 percent as best nursing homes in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, or both.
“Choosing a nursing facility, whether for post-acute rehabilitation – such as recovering from surgery like a hip replacement, a serious injury like a fracture or managing the aftermath of a stroke – or long-term residency, is one of the most crucial health care decisions a family can make,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News.
