U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Nursing Homes Names The Village at Victory Lakes Among Best in Illinois

LINDENHURST, IL, UNITED STATES, November 19, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Franciscan Community, The Village at Victory Lakes has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2025 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 Village at Victory Lakes earned its U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for Skilled Nursing/Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care. 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.

“We are honored to have The Village at Victory Lakes recognized as the best in the country,” said Franciscan Ministries President and CEO, Regina Umanskiy. “Our Ministry has served older adults for 130 years, and this national recognition is a reflection of the outstanding work done by the associates at the community and the commitment to our Mission of Celebrating Life and Serving with Joy.”

For the 2025 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as infection rates; staffing levels; 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.
