Celebrating the People Behind the Awards

Every day, our nurses, CNAs, therapists, caregivers, clinicians, support staff and team members bring their expertise, compassion and commitment to the residents, patients, clients and families who place their trust in us.

At Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center, that commitment was recognized with three wins spanning rehabilitation, skilled nursing and long-term care.

At Oriol at Home, our caregivers provide personalized non-medical care and support to help individuals remain safe, comfortable and connected in the place they call home.

And through Oriol Therapy Services, our rehabilitation professionals help people build strength, restore function and work toward greater independence through physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Different services. Different needs. One commitment to the people and families we serve.

Throughout that growth, one promise has remained at the heart of everything we do:

Holden, MA – Feb. 2026 − Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2026 by U.S. News & World Report, earning honors for Best Short-Term Rehabilitation and Best Long-Term Care.

Since its debut in 2009, the annual U.S. News Best Nursing Homes analysis has served as a critical resource, providing trusted, data-driven insights to families—often in consultation with their health care providers—who are seeking the best options for either short-term rehabilitation or comprehensive long-term care. A High Performance designation, the highest level of recognition offered by U.S. News, was awarded to Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center for outstanding quality in both Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care.

U.S. News’ annual evaluation of nursing homes is highly selective, recognizing fewer than 19% of the evaluated U.S. nursing homes as “Best Nursing Homes” as part of the 2026 ratings. This designation is reserved only for facilities that satisfy U.S. News’ rigorous, proprietary assessment criteria, demonstrating a consistent and superior commitment to quality patient and resident care.

“We are incredibly proud of our team for earning this recognition in both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care,” said Tara D’Andrea, MBA, NHA, FACHCA, Administrator of Holden Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center. “This honor reflects the dedication, compassion, and professionalism our staff bring to their work every day, as well as our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, personalized care to the individuals and families we serve.”

For the 2026 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, including hospital readmission rates, staffing levels, health inspection results, and other key indicators of quality.

“U.S. News’ annual Best Nursing Homes ratings are designed to place the needs of patients and residents at the center of the selection process, equipping families with reliable, fact-driven metrics when making crucial care decisions,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “We are proud to spotlight the nursing homes across the country that consistently demonstrate exceptional care quality and prioritize both the safety and long-term well-being of those they serve.”

The 2026 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes proprietary ratings feature a significant methodology update, expanding both the Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care ratings to include 17 distinct quality measures each, offering a comprehensive assessment.
