One of the Best Nursing Homes in New York State

For the 2022 calendar year, Kendal on Hudson was designated a ‘Best Nursing Home’ when compared to all other communities offering the same services. 

As a ‘Best Nursing Home,’ out of 13,175 nursing homes that received a Long-Term Care Rating, 1,063 were designated as High-Performing. 13,500 facilities received a Short-Term Rating, while only 1,651 homes earned a High-Performing Rating.

Our high placement in these rankings takes into account our full spectrum of healthcare services, from Independent Living to Assisted Living to Rehabilitation and from Memory Support to Skilled Nursing

According to the report, our ‘High Performing’ rank in Short-Term Rehabilitation comes from the excellent “quality of post-acute care for patients recovering from a hospital stay.” As for our Long-Term Care, our top percentile score was derived from an assessment that looked at the quality of care for older adults “who need daily assistance with medical needs such as administering medications and non-medical needs.”

With our 24-hour nursing care provided by Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses and Certified Nursing Assistants, residents can be sure they are receiving the best care for their specific needs. 

And while many communities offering skilled nursing lost their ranking due to low COVID-19 vaccination rates, Kendal on Hudson is proud that we’ve continued to rank during a tremendously challenging time. 

In fact, our older adults boast a vaccination rate of 100%, and our team leads with a rate of 98%, placing it over 10% ahead of other nursing teams in the state. This is only one part of our approach to your health and recovery.
