Water’s Edge at Sandhill Cove is proud to announce that we have been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2026–2027 by U.S. News & World Report, earning a High Performing rating. This honor places our community among the leading senior care and skilled nursing providers in the country.
A Recognition Built on Quality, Safety, and Resident Outcomes
The U.S. News Best Nursing Home ratings evaluate more than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide, reviewing key measures such as staffing, quality outcomes, infection prevention, and overall resident experience. A High Performing rating reflects strong clinical quality, excellent care practices, and a proven record of positive outcomes for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care residents.
According to Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News, “Nursing homes that have earned the recognition of U.S. News have a track record of achieving better outcomes for residents and maximizing the amount of care they receive from nurses and other staff.” This independent assessment helps older adults, families, and caregivers make confident, informed decisions about skilled nursing and post-acute care options.
