Families across Gainesville and surrounding communities can feel confident knowing their loved ones are receiving care from one of the nation’s best nursing homes. Newsweek has recognized New Horizons Limestone, part of Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS), on its list of “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026.”
The honor also includes New Horizons Lanier Park, since both facilities share a provider number from the federal government’s Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The annual ranking highlights facilities nationwide that excel in clinical quality, safety, resident satisfaction, accreditations and peer recommendations.
“This recognition reflects the incredible dedication of our long-term care teams at both Limestone and Lanier Park,” said Kerry Smith, executive director of Long-Term Care for NGHS. “Every day, our staff demonstrates compassion and commitment to ensuring residents receive safe, high-quality care in an environment where they can thrive.”
New Horizons Limestone joins facilities across NGHS in receiving national recognition for excellence in healthcare. To learn more about Long-Term Care, visit nghs.com/long-term-care.
