Boulder City, Nevada, February 9, 2018
The Nevada State Veterans Home recently received a 5-Star rating, the highest score possible, in the U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Homes Ratings. Each home’s rating was determined by health inspections, nurse staffing and measures of medical quality of care.

In any health care setting, particularly with skilled care, earning top ratings and awards is not easy,” said Governor Brian Sandoval. “Earning the U.S. News & World Report’s 5-Star, Top Performer, distinction demonstrates the exceptional commitment and care of the staff and administration at the Nevada State Veterans Home. I’m very proud of the skill and talent of the care providers at our State Veterans facility. Our veterans deserve no less.”

The U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 15,000 homes nationwide. Of that number, 2,005 received an overall rating of 4.5 to 5-Stars. Also, of the 54 nursing homes in Nevada, only nine received an overall 5-Star, top performing rating.

This 5-Star rating is different than the Quality Rating System from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). CMS has a similar star ranking system. The Nevada State Veterans Home has also received a 5-Star rating from CMS and today still maintains the highest score possible from the federal agency.

The U.S. News & World Report Best Nursing Homes rating joins a long list of accomplishments, awards and high rankings at the Boulder City, Nevada skilled nursing care facility. The staff is also award winning and remains dedicated to providing exceptional care.

Additionally, the award winning Nevada State Veterans Home is now accepting applications for new residents, which includes veterans, the spouse of a veteran, and Gold Star parents.
