It is the third consecutive year Walter Reed has received the honor.
GLOUCESTER, Va. (October 21, 2024) – Walter Reed Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Gloucester, a Virginia Health Services (VHS) community, has been recognized on Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025 list. This prestigious award is presented in collaboration with Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider. The awards list was announced on September 25, 2024, and can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
This is the third straight year Walter Reed has earned the Newsweek honor. Walter Reed opened in 1981 in its current location and is one of seven nursing and rehabilitation centers under the VHS umbrella, which also includes home care, hospice, assisted and independent living, along with rehabilitation and pharmacy services. Walter Reed offers skilled and long-term nursing care in addition to Memory Care units for individuals with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025 ranking lists the nation’s leading nursing homes in the 25 unique states with the highest number of facilities according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The evaluation is based on the following four pillars:
- CMS data used to determine the performance of nursing homes.
- Reputation Score based on a national online survey of thousands of medical professionals.
- Resident Satisfaction Data.
- Accreditation by The Joint Commission (TJC) and Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
Based on the results of the study, Walter Reed is honored to again be recognized as one of Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes.
“Being honored nationally three times in a row is a remarkable accomplishment,” said Virginia Health Services President and CEO Mark Klyczek. “The team’s dedication to providing quality resident care is embraced throughout the building, and we’re so proud they are being recognized again for their hard work.”
