News Also Around Town: Newsweek recently compiled a comprehensive list of nursing homes across the US, based on reputation, performance data, health inspection scores, and more. Of the 15,000 nursing homes analyzed, 406 met a threshold score. Seven of those are in North Carolina, and one is in Matthews: Carrington Place ranked number seven in the best nursing homes in North Carolina. Congratulations Carrington Place, keep up the great work!

One Good Thing: The High Ridge Pickers will be at the Farmer’s Market this Saturday. Get there when the market opens at 8, get your shopping in, then settle in for some bluegrass, old-time, and gospel music. The farmers will have cool-season greens, summer staples, and an array of handmade goodies. Don’t forget to plan your Thanksgiving menu, hit the market, and pre-order baked goods and meats for the holiday table.
