The other awarded Nevada nursing homes were Highland Manor of Mesquite, Silver Hills Health Care Center and Horizon Health and Rehabilitation Center in Las Vegas, Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City, and Life Care Center of Reno.

In addition, awards were given to three Nevada hospitals, Mesa View Regional Hospital in Mesquite, Renown South Meadows Medical Center in Reno and Banner Churchill Community Hospital in Fallon.
