Mount Vernon, NY – [October 15, 2025] – Wartburg, a premier provider of comprehensive senior care services, has been recognized by Newsweek on its 2026 list of America’s Best Nursing Homes, reaffirming Wartburg’s longstanding commitment to excellence in care, compassion, and innovation for older adults.

The annual ranking, developed in partnership with Statista Inc., identifies the nation’s top nursing homes based on performance data, peer recommendations, and adherence to high standards of quality and safety. Wartburg’s continued recognition among this elite group underscores its reputation as one of New York’s most trusted and respected senior care communities.

“In this challenging environment, I am once again proud of our continued presence as a top-tier nursing home, which is only possible because of our employees’ steadfast commitment to care and service to others,” said Wartburg President David J. Gentner, Ed.D. “More important than independent recognition is the relationship we have with our residents and families—it’s a relationship built on trust.”

Bridget Zimmermann, Wartburg’s Vice President of Operations, added, “We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek as one of the Best Nursing Homes in New York. This recognition reflects the compassion, dedication, and professionalism of our entire team who work tirelessly each day to provide exceptional care to our residents. Earning this distinction highlights our ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, person-centered care, and continuous improvement. I am incredibly proud of our staff and grateful to the families and residents who place their trust in us.”
