Westminster Communities of Florida is proud to announce that we have earned eight “Best Nursing Home” designations for 2026 by the highly respected U.S. News & World Report.
A Banner Year for High Performance
A coveted High-Performance designation, the highest recognition offered by U.S. News, was awarded to the following communities for demonstrating a consistent and superior commitment to quality patient and resident care. Notably, six communities achieved this top rating in both Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care:
Six Communities Recognized in both Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care:
- Westminster Bradenton
- Westminster St. Augustine
- Westminster Suncoast
- Westminster Towers
- Westminster Winter Park
- Westminster Woods on Julington Creek
Additional High Performance Designations:
- Westminster Baldwin Park (Outstanding quality in Short-Term Rehabilitation)
- Westminster Oaks (Outstanding quality in Long-Term Care)
This significant number of honorees underscores the organization’s widespread and sustained commitment to delivering exceptional care across the state. The U.S. News evaluation is highly selective, recognizing fewer than 19% of U.S. nursing homes, making Westminster Communities of Florida’s eight awards a powerful testament to its organizational excellence.
The Heart of Our Success: Our Team
The numbers are clear: U.S. News uses reliable, fact-driven metrics like staffing levels, health inspection results, and patient outcomes to determine these rankings. But behind every positive data point is a dedicated team member.
“These prestigious rankings are a profound testament to the high-quality, compassionate care delivered by our dedicated team members every day, in every community,” said Hank Keith, Chief Executive Officer of Westminster Communities of Florida. “We are deeply grateful to our amazing teams for setting this incredible standard of excellence and helping us deliver on our mission.”
For over a decade, the U.S. News Best Nursing Homes analysis has been a crucial tool for families making difficult decisions about senior care. We are honored to be featured prominently as a trusted choice in Florida.
