YOUNGSTOWN – Heritage Manor Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation was named one of the best nursing homes in the country by Newsweek, and one of the top five small nursing homes in Ohio.

“Heritage Manor is honored to be recognized by Newsweek,” said Eric Murray, executive director of senior living by Youngstown Area Jewish Federation. “I am grateful for the Heritage Manor team members that go above and beyond every day to provide a truly caring experience for our residents and their family members. I know how important quality programming is to the Federation and we are pleased to be identified as one of the best nursing facilities in the country.”

Nursing homes are recognized in three size categories: large (150+ certified beds), medium (100–149 certified beds), and small (50–99 certified beds). Heritage Manor is in the small category.

The evaluation is based on four data sources: Quality Metrics – data published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services; a national online survey of thousands of medical professionals and managers working in nursing; accreditation data on nursing homes provided by the Joint Commission and Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities; and Google reviews.

Heritage Manor is a 72 bed facility that’s rated as a five star nursing facility by the Center for Medicare/Medicaid. It offers long term and short term care, including all types of physical, occupational, and speech therapy. It is the only Veterans Administration approved provider of long term care in Mahoning County. Staff to resident ratio is above state averages. Included is a 2,000 square foot therapy gym, rehabilitation solarium, and therapy mock apartment. Rooms are private with private restrooms.
