Christian Health Named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes List for Seventh Consecutive Year

National recognition affirms Christian Health’s sustained commitment to quality, safety, and compassionate care

Wyckoff, NJ (September 30, 2026) - For the seventh consecutive year, Christian Health’s Heritage Manor has been recognized on Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes list. The 2027 distinction reflects the organization’s sustained commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care to older adults and the families who entrust their loved ones to Christian Health.

“Being recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Best Nursing Homes for the seventh consecutive year is a tremendous honor,” said Stephen J. Dumke, LNHA, FACHE, President and CEO of Christian Health. “This achievement reflects the dedication of our caregivers, nurses, and team members who serve our residents with skill, compassion, and respect each day. We are grateful for their commitment and proud of the exceptional care they provide. This recognition is a testament to the outstanding work they do every day for our residents and families.”

The annual rankings, developed by Newsweek in partnership with Statista, evaluate nursing homes using quality metrics published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, recommendations from qualified nursing-home professionals, accreditation data from The Joint Commission and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and Google reviews as a measure of resident, family, and visitor satisfaction.

“Families place tremendous trust in us, and honoring that trust requires an unwavering commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement,” said Amy Shotmeyer Porter, Esq., Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Christian Health. “Guided by our mission, we remain focused on advancing the highest standards of care and delivering the clinical excellence, service, and support every resident and family deserves.”

Heritage Manor is distinguished by its place within Christian Health’s full continuum of care for older adults, helping ensure each person receives the right support as their needs evolve.

The awards list was announced on September 30, 2026, and can currently be viewed on Newsweek’s website.
