U.S. News & World Report’s 2026 Best Nursing Homes Names Peace Care St. Ann’s and Peace Care St. Joseph’s Among Best in New Jersey
Jersey City, New Jersey, November 13, 2025 – Both Peace Care St. Ann’s and Peace Care St. Joseph’s have been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2026 by U.S. News & World Report.
Since its debut in 2009, the annual U.S. News Best Nursing Homes analysis has served as a critical resource, providing trusted, data-driven insights to families – in consultation with their health care providers – seeking the best options for either short-term rehabilitation or comprehensive long-term care. A High-Performance designation, the highest level of recognition offered by U.S. News, was awarded to both of the Peace Care communities for outstanding quality in Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care.

U.S. News’ annual evaluation of nursing homes is highly selective, recognizing fewer than 19% of the evaluated U.S. nursing homes as “Best Nursing Homes” as part of the 2026 ratings. This designation is reserved only for facilities that satisfy U.S. News’ rigorous, proprietary assessment criteria demonstrating a consistent and superior commitment to quality patient and resident care.
“The Team at Peace Care is very honored and excited to have both of our communities recognized as one of the best Nursing Homes by US News and World Report for 2026,” said Kyle Hreben, Chief Executive Officer. “Our team members embody our mission and demonstrate clinical excellence through their ongoing commitment to achieving the best outcomes for our post-acute and long-term residents every day.”
For the 2026 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as hospital readmission rates; staffing levels; health inspection results and other indicators of quality.
“U.S. News’ annual Best Nursing Homes ratings are designed to place the needs of patients and residents at the center of the selection process, equipping families with reliable, fact-driven metrics when making crucial care decisions,” said Ben Harder, Chief of Health Analysis and Managing Editor at U.S. News. “We are proud to spotlight the nursing homes across the country that consistently demonstrate exceptional care quality and prioritize both the safety and long-term well-being of those they serve.”
The 2026 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes proprietary ratings feature a significant methodology update, expanding both the Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care ratings to include 17 distinct quality measures each, offering a comprehensive assessment.
