Topeka Presbyterian Manor named to U.S. News & World Report list of Best Nursing Homes

U.S. News and World Report has recognized Topeka Presbyterian Manor as a Best Nursing Home for 2024.

Topeka Presbyterian Manor earned its U.S. News Best Nursing Home status by achieving a rating of “High Performing,” the highest possible rating, for Short-Term Rehabilitation. 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. The Best Nursing Homes list was published November 14, 2023.

For the 2024 edition, U.S. News rated more than 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes. It analyzed data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and other sources. The Short-Term Rehabilitation ratings are based on 10 quality measures including medical outcomes, staffing levels, and resident complaints.

At Topeka Presbyterian Manor, U.S. News evaluated the Post-Acute-to Home (PATH®) program for people recovering from a hospital stay such as after a stroke, heart attack, or surgery. The report found that:
