Home for 2019-20, a distinction shared with only 19 percent of U.S. skilled
nursing facilities in the nation. Kaweah Delta’s Skilled Nursing
program earned Best Nursing Homes status by achieving the highest possible
rating for providing short-term rehabilitation to patients. U.S. News
& World Report gives the designation of Best Nursing Home only to
those homes that satisfy U.S. News’s assessment of the appropriate
use of key services and consistent performance in quality measures. The
Best Nursing Homes ratings reflect U.S. News’ analysis of publicly
available data, which evaluates factors that most greatly impact patient
and resident care, safety, and outcomes. To read more, click
