A total of 21 Signature facilities in six states made U.S. News & World Report’s Best Nursing Homes 2015 list.

The news magazine and website each year publishes a list of the top nursing homes in the United States, out of nearly 16,000 nursing homes nationwide, based on data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The list is designed, according to U.S. News & World Report, to help users find a home with a strong track record of quality care. A majority of people age 65 or older will require some type of long-term care services during their lifetime, and more than 40 percent will need a period of care in a nursing home, according to CMS.

As an industry, long-term care is also a major economic driver, directly responsible for generating 3.1 million jobs and an estimated $183.5 billion in economic activity according to the American Health Care Association.
