Dunwoody Village in Newtown Square has been named a 2026 Best Nursing Home by U.S. News & World Report.
The William Hood Dunwoody Care Center achieved the prestigious “High Performing” rating – the highest possible – for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
The U.S. News badge is a widely respected symbol of excellence in U.S. healthcare. The annual evaluation of nursing homes is highly selective. It recognized fewer than 19 percent of the evaluated U.S. nursing homes as “Best Nursing Homes” in its 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.
For the 2026 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as hospital readmission rates; staffing levels; health inspection results; and other indicators of quality.
This year’s 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.
“Every day, our team brings compassion, excellence, and purpose to the top-quality care and service they provide,” said Maureen Casey, President and CEO of Dunwoody Village. “I believe the greatest testament to their dedication is the trust of our residents and families and the strong sense of community they help to foster.”
“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.”
Dunwoody Village is a five-star quality-rated, not-for-profit continuing care retirement community located in Newtown Square.
Set on a picturesque 83-acre campus, Dunwoody Village offers a full continuum of care—including independent living, personal care, skilled nursing, and memory support—along with short-term rehabilitation services available to both residents and the greater community.
