Newswise — MAYWOOD, IL – For the third consecutive year, Loyola Medicine's Gottlieb Memorial Hospital was named to U.S. News & World Report's list of Best Nursing Homes in Illinois. Gottlieb was recognized for excellence in short-term rehabilitation which provides patients who had a recent accident or hospital stay with skilled nursing services for a few weeks or months.
Gottlieb Memorial Hospital received the highest possible rating, a 5 out of 5, and was recognized as "High Performing." Nationally, fewer than 15% of the nearly 15,000 nursing homes surveyed were rated as high-performing in short-term rehabilitation. Of the 682 nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities in Illinois, Gottlieb is one of only 59 to receive an overall rating of 5 out of 5.
"More than 1 million individuals are receiving care from nursing facilities across the country," said Elizabeth E. Early, President of Gottlieb Memorial Hospital. "We are incredibly proud to be recognized for our excellence in patient care three years in a row."
The Skilled Nursing Unit at Gottlieb Memorial Hospital has 32 semiprivate beds. The team provides specialized, certified care that is proven to improve range of motion and help patients resume normal activities as quickly as possible following a long hospital stay or complications from a medical procedure. For the past 5 years, the unit has held a 5-star rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
On average, 80% of Loyola Medicine’s Skilled Nursing Unit's patients return to the community (home, assisted living or similar places), 10% are discharged to long-term care and 10% receive additional care in our hospitals.
According to U.S. News & World Reports, "To be recognized as one of the 2025 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes, a home must have been “High Performing” in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. 2,836 (19%) met those criteria out of the 14,832 nursing homes evaluated by U.S. News, of which 2,152 homes were high-performing in short-term rehabilitation."
