Two Redeemer Life Care communities, Lafayette and St. Joseph Manor, have earned national distinctions for the quality of care they deliver.

US News has awarded a “Best Nursing Home 2022” rating to both communities for the quality of their long-term care and short-stay program. The publication used scientific literature review, discussions with industry experts, and statistical modeling to carefully evaluate 15,298 nursing homes across the country, awarding only 7% of these facilities with a “Best Nursing Home 2022” rating.

“We are proud to have earned a 'Best Nursing Home 2022' rating by US News. This distinction signifies the devotion and dedication that we demonstrate to residents every day. We treat every resident like family and look forward to continuing our legacy of high-quality, compassionate care,” says Joe Munizza, Vice President, Residential Services.

Additionally, St. Joseph Manor has earned Newsweek’s “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2022” rating based on an evaluation done by Statista, a Newsweek partner that looked at performance data drawn from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), peer recommendations derived from more than 10,000 medical experts, and metrics around the handling of COVID-19 also drawn from CMS data, as well as other official sources.

Out of 11,849 nursing homes analyzed across the country, Newsweek awarded only 450 with its “Best Nursing Home” rating, with St. Joseph Manor being one of only 26 who earned this distinction in the state of Pennsylvania.

“These distinctions attest to the unwavering focus we maintain to provide high-quality, compassionate care and service. Our staff continued their steadfast dedication to our residents and their health and safety even during the most trying challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are proud to have earned recognition by Newsweek and US News and remain committed to upholding the highest level of quality care,” says Ellie Nocito, Vice President and Administrator, St. Joseph Manor and Redeemer Health Transitional Care Unit.
