Catholic Health’s Skilled Nursing Facility Earns 6th Straight National Honor, Ranked #1 on Long Island in Newsweek’s Annual Survey

Catholic Health's St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation (Smithtown, NY) has once again been ranked as one of the top skilled nursing facilities in the country by Newsweek. For the sixth consecutive year, the Smithtown facility was listed on its “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025” report. In addition to being rated as one of the nation’s top care centers, St. Catherine of Siena Nursing and Rehabilitation was ranked #1 on Long Island and the 3rd best facility in New York state.

"This recognition is a true testament to our incredibly talented and caring staff at St. Catherine and their continued excellence in keeping our residents safe and healthy," said St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation Administrator John Chowske. "We always strive to provide the best possible quality and compassionate care to our residents and their families."

This year's list recognizes 1,050 nursing homes across the 25 states with the highest number of facilities, according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data. The top nursing homes in each state were assessed and ranked based on four pillars: performance data, recommendations of medical professionals, accreditations and resident satisfaction.

“I would like to congratulate John and his team on this incredible honor and their continued commitment to excellence,” said Catholic Health Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Gary Havican. “To be ranked among the top facilities in the country reflects Catholic Health’s mission of providing Long Islanders with the highest level of care.”
