Newsweek Recognizes North Carolina State Veterans Home - Fayetteville as One of America's Best Nursing Homes
01/19/2022
Fayetteville, North Carolina (January 19, 2022) - North Carolina State Veterans Home - Fayetteville, which is operated by PruittHealth, recently was named among America's Best Nursing Homes 2022 by Newsweek. The center also ranked third overall in the state of North Carolina.
America's Best Nursing Homes 2022 highlights the nation's top 450 nursing homes out of 11,849 analyzed. The rankings are based on performance data, peer recommendations, and handling COVID-19, relative to in-state competition. Nursing homes in the 25 states with the highest population size, according to The United States Census Bureau (2020) were included in the study produced by Newsweek in partnership with research firm Statista.
"It is an honor and a privilege to serve those who have given so much of themselves to our country, and this ranking demonstrates our commitment to providing our nation's heroes with the high-quality, patient-centric care they deserve," Neil L. Pruitt, Jr., chairman and CEO of PruittHealth, said.
Statista used Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data to determine the performance of nursing homes. For peer recommendations, Statista invited over 10,000 medical experts to an online survey. Additionally, experts from all over the US could participate in the survey of the Best Nursing Homes by State on newsweek.com. Email verification was required and self-recommendation was not possible.
The survey data was collected from July to August 2021. Statista and Newsweek calculated a COVID-19 score for each facility, using CMS and other official data, to identify nursing homes which have had the best possible response and protocols during the pandemic. The overall rating is the weighted average of the performance data score, the reputation score, and the COVID-19 score.
