Celebrating Excellence in Long-Term Care
Bergen New Bridge Medical Center's Long-Term Care Division (LTC) has once again earned its place among the nation’s elite, being recognized on Newsweek's Best Nursing Homes 2026 list for the fourth consecutive time. This prestigious acknowledgment not only marks the center as the largest licensed nursing home in New Jersey but also highlights its commitment to providing high-quality and compassionate care for all residents.
The recognition from Newsweek is based on four critical pillars: performance data, peer recommendations, accreditations, and resident satisfaction, with an increased emphasis on clinical quality metrics this year. Facilities across 33 states were evaluated, showcasing the diverse landscape of care options available. With vaccination rates now included as a key quality measure, the LTC Division at Bergen New Bridge continues to reflect an ever-evolving healthcare environment focused on safety and effectiveness.
