Alameda Hospital Skilled Nursing Facilities Rank Among America’s Best Nursing Homes Again

Alameda Hospital Skilled Nursing Facilities have been recognized by Newsweek as among the best in the country for the second consecutive year. Newsweek’s prestigious list of America’s Best Nursing Homes for 2025 ranked Alameda’s facilities as #1 in Alameda County and 14th in California among nursing homes with more than 150 beds.

Alameda Hospital Skilled Nursing Facilities include Park Bridge Rehabilitation and Wellness, Alameda Hospital Sub-Acute Unit, and South Shore Rehabilitation and Wellness. They are part of Alameda Health System (AHS), the public safety-net health system, integrated health care provider, and medical training institution in Alameda County.

“I’m grateful to our wonderful team members who care for our residents like they would their own loved ones,” said Richard Espinoza, Chief Administrative Officer of post-acute services at AHS. “Congratulations for this achievement and recognition of your compassion and commitment to the wellbeing of all the residents in our care.”



Newsweek’s annual ranking of America’s Best Nursing Homes is designed to guide families in their search for high-quality, long-term care options. It is developed in partnership with Statista, a global leader in data and market analysis. This year’s list was based on an analysis of more than 14,000 nursing homes across the 25 states with the highest concentration of facilities. The rankings were determined by evaluating nursing homes across four key pillars, including performance data, peer recommendations, accreditations, and resident satisfaction.

“I’m proud that Alameda Health System serves all in our community regardless of our patient’s and resident’s ability to pay for services,” said James Jackson, CEO of AHS. “Newsweek’s national ranking illustrates what we at Alameda Health System already know—the public safety-net health system not only provides accessible health care, we also provide exceptionally good health care,” said James Jackson, CEO of AHS.

According to Statista, the median monthly cost of a private room in a nursing home is more than $13,000— a prohibitively expensive burden for most families. AHS has four skilled nursing facilities that provide long-term or temporary residence for patients undergoing medically necessary rehabilitation treatment. All four facilities serve the safety-net communities in Alameda County with standards of care that are on par with the best nursing homes in the country.
