Short-Term Ratings Methodology

U.S. News Short-Term Rehabilitation Ratings evaluate eligible nursing homes in caring for people in need of skilled nursing or rehabilitation services following hospitalization for surgery, heart attack, stroke, injury or other conditions. The data used to evaluate these facilities come primarily from the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicare Services (CMS) and includes metrics related to patient outcomes, nurse staffing, facility complaints, and minimizing the need for and use of hypnotic medications.

For details of the U.S. News methodology, please read the FAQ and the methodology report.
