We’re proud to share that United Zion Retirement Community has been recognized among the top 1,000 nursing homes in the country by U.S. News & World Report in their 2026 “Best Nursing Homes” list — earning high-performing marks in both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
This honor reflects our ongoing commitment to helping residents thrive in every way—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. U.S. News evaluated more than 15,000 nursing homes nationwide and selected fewer than 19% as “high-performing.” Only 1,064 earned top ratings in both care categories.
At United Zion Retirement Community, this recognition highlights the dedication of our incredible team members across every department—nursing, therapy, culinary, environmental services, and more—who make exceptional care possible every day.
“We’re honored to be recognized among the top 1,000 nursing homes in the country by U.S. News & World Report. This recognition reflects our mission to provide a community where residents thrive—focusing on independence, dignity, and physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. It’s also a testament to our incredible team members who bring that mission to life each day.”
— Sue Verdegem, CEO, United Zion Retirement Community
We’re grateful to our team members, residents, and families who make our community so special. Their partnership and care help us continually reach new levels of excellence.
