Belair lands on Newsweek’s best nursing homes list

Belair Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in North Bellmore, New York, was named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes 2027 list. The recognition highlights the center’s quality, reputation and resident experience, and puts one National Health Care Associates facility among four company centers honored nationwide.

Why it matters: - The Newsweek ranking is a national signal to families, patients and referral partners comparing nursing homes on quality and experience. - Belair’s placement adds outside validation for a North Bellmore center serving short-term recovery and long-term care needs. - National Health Care Associates now has four centers on the 2027 list, showing broader recognition across its network.

What happened: - Belair Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was recognized on Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes 2027 list. - The center is located in North Bellmore, New York. - The ranking was published by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista. - Belair is one of four National Health Care Associates centers included on the 2027 list.

The details: - Newsweek and Statista rank nursing homes in three certified-bed-size categories: large, medium and small. - The evaluation uses four pillars: performance indicators, reputation score, accreditations, and resident and visitor satisfaction. - Performance indicators cover staffing, quality measures and health inspections. - The reputation score comes from an online survey of medical professionals, including registered nurses, nursing home managers, licensed therapists and physicians. - Accreditations include official recognition by TJC and CARF for meeting quality and safety standards. - Resident and visitor satisfaction is reflected in Google rating scores. - Belair provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation and long-term care services. - Belair supports both short-term recovery and ongoing care needs. - National Health Care Associates operates post-acute and long-term care centers across the Northeast. - Statista publishes worldwide industry rankings and company listings with media partners. - Statista’s research and analysis services are supported by Statista.com, which provides statistics, business data and market and consumer studies.

Between the lines: - The ranking combines clinical measures with public perception, so the honor suggests strength not just in care delivery but also in reputation and satisfaction. - For a nursing home, national ranking visibility can matter in a market where families often make decisions quickly and based on trust signals. - The fact that multiple National Health Care Associates centers were recognized suggests the result is not isolated to one location.

What’s next: - Belair is likely to use the recognition in outreach to residents, families and referral sources. - National Health Care Associates can point to the ranking as broader proof of quality across its network. - The 2027 list will serve as a benchmark for other nursing homes seeking national recognition.

The bottom line: - Belair now has a national quality credential that strengthens its standing with families and healthcare partners.
