text: The February edition of US News has a section titled, "America's Best Nursing Homes" and it lists some of the top nursing homes in various states. If you're thinking about long-term care for yourself or for a loved one, then you may want to look at this list.
  In my region, some of the top nursing homes (according to US News) include:
  Crosslands in Kennett Square, PA
  Calvary Fellowship Homes in Lancaster, PA
  Holy Name Friary in Ringwood, NJ
  Cokesbury Village in Hockessin, DE
  Our Lady of Hope Residence in Latham, NY
  There are 173 nursing homes listed and some scored a total of 15 stars while others scored a total of 14 stars in 3 different categories. All the homes listed scored 5 stars overall, the highest rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
