ELSMERE, KY – November 10, 2026 – Emerald Trace, a nonprofit senior care community in Elsmere, Kentucky, has once again been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s Best Nursing Homes for 2027, earning the prestigious High Performing rating in both Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care.
This year’s recognition marks an impressive seven consecutive years that Emerald Trace has received national recognition for Short-Term Rehabilitation, reflecting the community’s continued commitment to helping patients recover, regain strength and return home following hospitalization, surgery or illness.
Emerald Trace’s Long-Term Care Household has also once again earned national recognition, highlighting the quality of care provided to residents who require ongoing skilled nursing services.
The distinction is particularly meaningful considering that U.S. News & World Report evaluated more than 14,600 nursing homes nationwide for its 2027 ratings, with only 18% earning the Best Nursing Homes designation.
The annual evaluation examines important quality measures, including staffing levels, hospital readmissions, health inspections and resident care outcomes. The High Performing rating is the highest distinction awarded by U.S. News.
“These recognitions are a reflection of the dedication, compassion and professionalism of our entire Emerald Trace team,” said Tina Martin, Administrator of Emerald Trace. “We are incredibly proud to receive national recognition for both our rehabilitation and long-term care services. Most importantly, these honors reflect our ongoing commitment to the residents, patients and families who place their trust in us every day.”
Located on Turkeyfoot Road in Elsmere, Emerald Trace offers 34 private Short-Term Rehabilitation suites, a 20-suite Long-Term Care Household and a newly opened Personal Care with Memory Support Household.
