U.S. News & World Report examines government data from more than 15,500 nursing homes to determine which are the nation's best: "At the core of the rankings is the data and ratings found on Nursing Home Compare, a federal website created by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The CMS collects and analyzes information on almost all nursing homes - all that accept Medicare or Medicaid residents - and rates the facilities on numerous measures, from safe food preparation to the amount of nursing care per resident" (Comarow, 10/5).
