Using Rankings to Your Advantage with Ben Harder and Liz Pearce

How do you choose a hospital or senior living community when everything feels impossibly high-stakes? Vanessa talks with two U.S. News & World Report journalists — Ben Harder, managing editor and chief of health analysis, and Liz Pearce, director of senior living — about what those rankings really measure, and what they can’t. See their rankings for Best Hospitals for Rehabilitation , Best Nursing Homes , Best Senior Living , and — their newest report — Best Home Health . Also check out our episode with Amara Walker .
