Grace Inspired Living has twice the reason to celebrate! Both of our continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs), The Community at Rockhill and Lutheran Community at Telford, have earned U.S. News & World Report‘s “Best Nursing Homes” designation for 2027 in both Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care. This recognition celebrates the dedication of our Healthcare teams and their commitment to the people who call our communities home.
Released on November 10, 2026, the latest U.S. News ratings evaluated more than 14,600 skilled nursing facilities nationwide. Just 18%—fewer than one in five—earned a “Best Nursing Home” designation in Short-Term Rehabilitation, Long-Term Care or both. With “High Performing” ratings in both categories, Rockhill and Telford each received recognition for supporting residents’ ongoing care needs as well as rehabilitation patients’ treatment and recovery.
For families exploring care options, these ratings offer an independent, data-driven starting point. Short-Term Rehabilitation ratings assess care for patients staying 100 days or fewer, often following a hospitalization, illness or injury. Long-Term Care ratings evaluate care for residents whose stays exceed 100 days. Recognition in both categories reflects the range of care available across our two campuses.
U.S. News evaluates 17 quality measures in each category, examining factors such as nurse staffing, patient outcomes and care practices. The methodology draws on publicly available information, including data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and considers measures such as staffing turnover, appropriate antipsychotic medication use, and health and safety deficiencies. These measures help families look beyond amenities to better understand the quality of care a nursing home provides.
Behind this recognition are the employees who bring skill, compassion and personal attention to their work every day. We are proud of our teams at Rockhill and Telford for making a meaningful difference in the lives of our Healthcare residents, rehabilitation patients and their families.
Congratulations to both communities on this outstanding achievement—and thank you to every team member whose dedication makes it possible!
