“Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our staff has continued to rise above, putting their own concerns and safety aside for the well-being of our residents.  Being recognized as one of Newsweek’s Best Nursing Homes in America validates the efforts of staff in every department at every level, and I am so proud of our entire team,” said Stuart B. Almer, President and CEO of Gurwin Healthcare System.  

The Gurwin Center also received a 1st quintile ranking from the New York State Department of Health’s Nursing Home Quality Initiative program, which recognizes nursing homes based on quality, compliance and efficiency measures.
