Launching the spring season of its WellSpring Series, The Osborn will present David Grann, author of The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny and Murder, on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm. Free and open to the public, the concert will be held in The Osborn’s Auditorium at 101 Theall Road, Rye, NY.

David Grann’s latest book is a page-turning story of shipwreck, survival, and savagery, culminating in a court martial that reveals a shocking truth. With the twists and turns of a thriller, Grann unearths the deeper meaning of the events on the HMS Wager, showing that it was not only the captain and crew who ended up on trial, but the very idea of empire. The Wager debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and has remained on the list nearly ever since, often in the top spot.

The Osborn’s WellSpring program engages seven dimensions that enrich our lives: intellectual, social, physical, environmental, occupational, emotional, and spiritual. With the WellSpring Series, The Osborn opens its doors to the wider community to share engaging events.

The Osborn has received many accolades, including being chosen by readers of Westchester Magazine as “Best of Westchester” in the Senior Residence category in 2023 and again in 2024. The Osborn Pasciuti Pavilion skilled nursing center was once again named as a “Best Nursing Home” for 2022-2023 and again in 2024 by U.S. News & World Report. The Osborn was also named as one of the nation’s “Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities” by Newsweek. It was awarded its fifth consecutive five-year accreditation by CARF International, which is widely regarded as the highest standard in senior living excellence.

The Osborn in Rye has once again been named as one of the nation’s “Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities” (CCRCs) by Newsweek. It is the only CCRC in Westchester County and one of just ten communities in New York State to be awarded this honor.

“It is exciting to receive such prestigious recognition as one of the finest Continuing Care Retirement Communities in the nation based on Newsweek’s comprehensive rating process,” said Matthew G. Anderson, President and CEO of The Osborn. “The outstanding dedication of our staff, the wonderful programs, the nurturing sense of community, the elegance of our residences, and the natural beauty of our campus all contribute to our ability to provide an optimal lifestyle for older adults.”

According to Newsweek, today’s older Americans lead more active lifestyles than the previous generation and CCRCs are an increasingly attractive option for retirees. As the country’s population ages, the number of CCRCs has doubled in the past decade to well over 2,000. For the second consecutive year, Newsweek and global data research firm Statista have partnered to rank America’s Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities in 2025.

The Osborn has been honored for excellence with many other accolades. The Osborn Pavilion skilled nursing center was named as a “Best Nursing Home” for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report. Westchester magazine readers selected The Osborn as “Best of Westchester” in the Senior Residence category in 2024. The Osborn was also awarded its fifth consecutive five-year accreditation by CARF International, which is widely regarded as the highest standard in senior living excellence. Westchester magazine readers selected The Osborn as “Best of Westchester” in the Senior Residence category in 2024.

The Osborn Pavilion in Rye has been recognized as a “Best Nursing Home” for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report, receiving a 5/5 overall rating. It is one of only four skilled nursing facilities in Westchester County to achieve a High Performing rating in both the Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care categories.

To be recognized as one of the 2025 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes, a home must have been “High Performing” in short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, or both. The Osborn Pavilion achieved “High Performing in both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care, one of only 643 nursing facilities in the United States to achieve “High Performing” in both categories which equals just 4.3% of all the nursing homes in the country.

 “We are very proud that The Osborn Pavilion has once again been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best nursing homes in the country for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care,” said Matthew G. Anderson, President and CEO of The Osborn. “This honor reflects the outstanding expertise and dedication of our staff, who provide the highest quality of care to our residents and a deep sense of security to our families.”

The U.S. News Best Nursing Homes ratings were determined by nurse staffing, patient outcomes, and whether steps known to be effective in avoiding harm and improving health were built into nursing home routines. The Short-Term Rehabilitation rating is based on U.S. News’s assessment of 9 quality measures focusing on nurse staffing, patient outcomes, facility deficiencies, and processes of care. The Long-Term Care rating is based on assessment of 8 quality measures focusing on nurse staffing, patient outcomes, and turnover of ownership and staff. U.S. News used scientific literature review, discussions with industry experts, and statistical modeling to select these measures.
