November 10, 2026 — HumanGood is proud to announce that 14 of its communities have been honored in the highly esteemed US News & World Report's annual rankings for the 2027 Best Nursing Homes and six have been awarded the High Performing Facility Trophy from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
High Performing Facility Trophy awardees include Hillside, Las Ventanas, Piedmont Gardens, Redwood Terrace, The Terraces of Los Gatos, and The Terraces of Phoenix. This designation can be found on their facility pages on CMS’s Medicare Care Compare pages.
To be recognized as one of the 2027 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes, the community must have been “High Performing” in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care or both. Only 18% of over 14,600 skilled nursing facilities rated by U.S. News meet that standard.
This year, U.S. News has introduced the longevity award for communities who have received this recognition for three or more consecutive years.
The following communities’ skilled nursing facilities were recognized in the annual rankings:
