Eight Trinity Health Senior Communities across the country have been recognized among “2025 Best Nursing Homes” by U.S. News & World Report.

Since 2009, U.S. News’ annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted American families in need of either short-term rehabilitation or long-term care for themselves or a loved one.

The communities who earned U.S. News Best Nursing Home status achieved a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long-Term Care, or both. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News’ proprietary assessment of consistent performance in quality measures.  Those recognized are: 

 

  • Bellbrook (Rochester Hills, MI)                                         Short-Term Rehabilitation

  • Fraser Villa (Fraser, MI)                                                      Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long Term Care

  • Glacier Hills (Ann Arbor, MI)                                             Short-Term Rehabilitation

  • Heartwood Lodge (Spring Lake, MI)                                  Short-Term Rehabilitation

  • Mary’s Meadow at Providence Place (Holyoke, MA)        Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long Term Care

  • St. Joseph of the Pines Health Center                                 Short-Term Rehabilitation

  • Saint Mary Home (West Hartford, CT)                              Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long Term Care

  • The Alverno (Clinton, IA)                                                  Short-Term Rehabilitation

“We are so proud of the communities who have achieved this distinction,” said Trinity Health Senior Communities’ Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Stacey Johnson.  “We are guided by Core Values of Reverence, Commitment to Those Experiencing Poverty, Safety, Justice, Stewardship, and Integrity in the way we provide to care to our Short-Term rehabilitation patients as well as our Long-Term Care residents.  Those Values –in addition to our quality measures and our Mission to be both compassionate and transformative – are at the heart of each one of our skilled nursing communities.”

For the 2025 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes including infection rates; staffing levels; potentially inappropriate reliance on antipsychotic drugs; health inspection results and other indicators of quality. 

U.S. News' Best Nursing Homes ratings put patient well-being at the forefront and provide families with the objective information they need to make confident decisions about their loved ones' care,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “These annual ratings recognize U.S. nursing homes that deliver high-quality care, earning consistent positive outcomes, and support American families in finding local nursing homes that prioritize safety and well-being.”

To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home’s performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News methodology factors data such as resident care, safety and outcomes. Both short- and long-term ratings include data on nurse staffing, use of antipsychotic drugs and success in preventing ER and hospital visits. The long-term care rating also includes measures of whether a home changed ownership and how well it was staffed on weekends.
