Budd Terrace at Wesley Woods Receives Highest Rating from U.S.News & World Report

Washington, D.C., February 26, 2013 – Budd Terrace at Wesley Woods has received the highest possible overall rating of five stars in U.S. News & World Report’s fifth annual “Best Nursing Homes”, available exclusively at http://www.usnews.com/best-nursing-homes.

The Best Nursing Homes 2013 ratings highlight the top nursing homes in each city and state, out of nearly 16,000 facilities nationwide. U.S. News’s goal is to help users find a home with a strong track record of good care.

Best Nursing Homes draws on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a federal agency that assesses homes in three categories – health inspections, level of nurse staffing, and quality of care – and gives each an overall rating.

U.S. News awarded the “Best Nursing Home” designation to homes that earned an overall rating of five stars from CMS in January 2013. Budd Terrace's Administrator added, “Budd Terrace at Wesley Woods is extremely fortunate to have a highly trained and qualified staff to provide these services to our seniors. This prestigious recognition validates the commitment to quality care our physicians and staff exemplify each day.”

Along with ratings, U.S. News has published a series of articles and a step-by-step video to guide users in choosing the right nursing home. The articles and ratings are exclusive to the website and aren’t expected to appear in print.

“Fewer than one out of every five nursing homes got an overall rating of five stars,” said Avery Comarrow, U.S. News Health Rankings Editor. “All seniors deserve the best nursing care available, and these are homes that merit their consideration by demonstrating such high quality.”
