Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has been named one of America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025  in Newsweek magazine’s annual list of top skilled nursing facilities in the U.S.  The annual ranking serves as a guide for patients and their families in their search for high-quality, long-term and post-acute care options.

“We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek once again in their prestigious America’s Best Nursing Homes rankings,” said Stuart B. Almer, President and CEO of Gurwin Healthcare System. “This achievement reflects the unwavering dedication of our staff, whose compassion and expertise create a warm, safe and supportive environment for the more than 400 residents who turn to Gurwin each day for care.”

The America’s Best Nursing Homes ranking lists the nation’s leading nursing homes in the 25 unique states with the highest number of facilities according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).  Compiled by Newsweek and Statista Inc., a statistics portal and industry-ranking provider, the annual ranking is based on performance data scores for health inspections, staffing and quality measures; recommendations of medical professionals; accreditations; and resident satisfaction scores.  Gurwin was ranked on the 2025 national list of America’s Best Nursing Homes, as well as New York’s list, both in the category of 150+ certified beds.

Gurwin Jewish Nursing & Rehabilitation Center of Commack, a member of Gurwin Healthcare System, has been ranked as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes 2022 by Newsweek Magazine, one of only six Long Island nursing homes to make the list.

A total of 450 top facilities across 25 states were ranked this year, including 55 of the more than 600 nursing homes located in New York. Newsweek partnered with Statista, a global data research firm, to establish nursing home rankings based on rigorous criteria including performance data, peer recommendations, and response to COVID-19. 

“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.
