Brooks Rehabilitation is honored to announce that their two skilled nursing facilities, Bartram Crossing (BC) and University Crossing (UC), are among the elite 19% in the country that earned a “High Performing” rating, the highest possible achievement, on the U.S. News & World Report’s 2025 Best Nursing Homes list.
Nursing home care can be as short as a few days or weeks after hospitalization, or it can be years if aging family members can no longer live on their own. To help find the best match for a loved one, U.S. News evaluated more than 15,000 facilities throughout the country and rated most of them in two different areas, short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
To be recognized as one of the 2025 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes, a facility must have been “High Performing” in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. Of the 699 nursing homes in Florida, 77 received an overall rating of 5 out of 5, that included both BC and UC.
Our skilled nursing facilities ranked much higher than both the Florida average and national average in the following quality areas for short-term rehabilitation: Discharge Home, Infections Resulting in Hospitalization. For long-term care, BC and UC ranked higher than the Florida average and national average in: Emergency Room Visits, Ability to Self-Care, Nurse Staffing.
“We are incredibly proud of our skilled nursing facilities for being recognized as Best Nursing Homes by U.S. News & World Report. This designation reflects our unwavering commitment to provide exceptional care in a nurturing environment for all of our patients and residents. It is a testament to the dedication and compassion of our team members who consistently go above and beyond to ensure the highest standards of service and quality are consistently being delivered,” said Victor DeRienzo, Chief Operating Officer – Aging Services and Outpatient.
