DeGraff Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Facility receives U.S. News & World Report's highest ranking

DeGraff Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Facility has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2026 by U.S. News & World Report.

Since 2009, U.S. News' annual Best Nursing Homes ratings have assisted consumers in need of either short term rehabilitation or long term care for themselves or a family member.

DeGraff earned their U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of "High Performing," the highest possible rating, for Short Term Rehabilitation and Long Term Care. DeGraff was one of nine nursing homes to earn the highest rating among the 45 local facilities reviewed. U.S. News gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to those that satisfy U.S. News' assessment of consistent performance in quality measures. This is the fourth consecutive year DeGraff has received this distinction.

"We are proud and honored to be recognized by US News and World Report as a Best Nursing Home," said Lisa Greisler, president, Visiting Nursing Association and Long Term Care at Kaleida Health. "This achievement recognizes the compassion, clinical excellence and dedication of our care team at DeGraff and places us among the top-rated nursing home choices in our community."

For the 2026 edition, U.S. News rated almost 15,000 nursing homes on staffing, patient health outcomes and results of government-conducted health and safety outcomes.

To calculate the Best Nursing Homes ratings, U.S. News evaluated each nursing home's performance using a variety of quality measures obtained from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The U.S. News Methodology Report includes detailed information used in calculating the results from data such as resident care, safety and outcomes.
