Five nursing homes managed by ArchCare, the Archdiocese of New York’s healthcare system that every day cares for more than 9,000 seniors, the poor and persons with special needs, received top ranking by Newsweek in its “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2022” report. This is the third consecutive year that ArchCare facilities have been included in Newsweek’s Best Nursing Homes – New York list.
ArchCare at Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center rose four spots in the ranking this year to #12 (New York), ArchCare at San Vicente de Paúl moved from #26 to #23 (Bronx), and ArchCare at Ferncliff Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center rose seventeen spots to #40 on the list (Rhinebeck).

America's Best Nursing Homes 2022 highlights the nation's top nursing homes based on performance data, peer recommendations and the facility's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We are proud that Newsweek has again included our facilities in this year’s list of America’s Best Nursing Homes,” said Scott LaRue, President and Chief Executive Officer of ArchCare. “The health and safety of our residents and participants is our top priority, and we are proud of the advancements we have made in our facilities this past year to continue to maintain the exceptional quality of life they all deserve.”
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ArchCare invested in a team of infection prevention professionals, technology, and a central command structure to ensure the highest level of infection prevention across its nursing home residences and programs. Led by Dr. Walid Michelen, SVP Clinical Planning & Innovation, Chief Medical Officer, ArchCare’s PROTECT (Program to Eliminate Contagion at ArchCare) program is underway across the system. PROTECT combines centralization, communication, and coordination with upgrades to facility environments, tailored safety training for staff members at all levels of the system and testing and contact tracing to proactively prepare ArchCare for any future infectious disease outbreaks, including COVID-19 and influenza.
The five facilities honored by Newsweek have a long history of excellence. Established in 1978, ArchCare at Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center serves the local community of diverse health and social needs. Located in the Bronx, ArchCare at San Vicente de Paúl and ArchCare at Providence Rest have been the long-term care centers of choice for years, while ArchCare at Ferncliff Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center brings the system’s inviting, home-like atmosphere and broad array of amenities and care programs to families and individuals in Rhinebeck, New York. Mary Manning Walsh Nursing
Home located in the Upper East Side has been providing intensive short-term rehabilitation and long-term care with an atmosphere of grace and elegance for more than six decades.
Newsweek developed its ranking of the 450 best nursing homes across 25 states. Three data sources were evaluated: performance data, peer recommendations and the facility's handling of COVID-19, relative to in-state competition.
