Christian Health’s Heritage Manor Named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes List for Sixth Consecutive Year

Ranked No. 2 in New Jersey in the “Over 150 Beds” Category

WYCKOFF, NJ (December 2, 2025) – For the sixth consecutive year, Christian Health’s Heritage Manor has been recognized on Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes list. Selected among the 1,200 communities chosen from 14,752 nursing homes across 33 U.S. states, Heritage Manor remains one of the country’s top providers.

This year’s list ranks the top 50 nursing homes in each of the states across three size categories: large (150+ certified beds), medium (100–149 certified beds), and small (50–99 certified beds). Heritage Manor earned the No. 2 position in New Jersey in the “Over 150 Beds” segment, underscoring its sustained commitment to excellence in an exceptionally competitive field.

“We are truly honored to once again be recognized on Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes list,” said Stephen J. Dumke, LNHA, FACHE, President and CEO of Christian Health. “This distinction is a testament to the dedication of our exceptional caregivers and their unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality, compassionate care. What makes Heritage Manor especially distinctive is its place within Christian Health’s full continuum of care for older adults, ensuring individuals receive the support they need at every stage of life.”

Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026 list was developed in partnership with Statista, a leading statistics and data reporting company. The evaluation process draws on four key pillars:

• Quality Metrics published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
• A national online survey of thousands of medical professionals and administrators working in nursing homes (conducted from June to August 2025)
• Accreditation data from The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)
• Patient and relatives’ feedback reflected in Google rating scores
