Hartsfield Village named among the best in the country by U.S. News & World Report for 2026

Hartsfield Village has been recognized as a 2026 Best Nursing Home for long-term care and short-term rehabilitation by U.S. News & World Report. This is the fourth consecutive year for the rehabilitation designation.

Since its debut in 2009, the annual Best Nursing Homes analysis from U.S. News has served as a key resource, providing trusted, data-driven insights to families – in consultation with their healthcare providers – seeking the best options for either short-term rehabilitation or comprehensive long-term care.

Hartsfield Village is a continuing care retirement community that celebrates the full continuum of life and promotes successful aging. A service of Powers Health, Hartsfield Village offers independent living, assisted living, rehabilitation and nursing care on a 38-acre campus at 10000 Columbia Ave. in Munster, just 22 miles from downtown Chicago.

“Receiving this recognition is a testament to the work we do,” said Leslie Darrow, executive director of Hartsfield Village and vice president of Post-Acute Services at Powers Health. “This distinction reflects our commitment to providing the best care in the most nurturing of environments for our patients and residents.”

U.S. News & World Report evaluates nearly 15,000 U.S. nursing homes and recognizes fewer than 19% as “Best Nursing Homes” in “Short-Term Rehabilitation,” “Long-Term Care” or both.

The 2026 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes proprietary ratings feature a significant methodology update, expanding both the Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care ratings to include 17 distinct quality measures each. These measures capture post-acute care quality, nurse staffing consistency and patient-centered outcomes.

“Choosing a nursing facility, whether for post-acute rehabilitation – such as recovering from surgery like a hip replacement, a serious injury like a fracture or managing the aftermath of a stroke – or long-term residency, is one of the most crucial healthcare decisions a family can make,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis and managing editor at U.S. News. “This year’s Best Nursing Homes ratings are the most comprehensive yet, with a significantly expanded portfolio of performance measures that offer families an even more holistic assessment of quality for both short-term rehab and long-term care.”
