The Manor Recognized as high performing in short-term rehabilitation and long-term care

FREEHOLD, NJ - NOVEMBER 13, 2025 - U.S. News & World Report has announced its 2026 Best Nursing Homes ratings and awarded The Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center "High Performing", the highest level of recognition offered by U.S. News, in Short-Term Rehabilitation for the sixth consecutive year and resumed recognition in Long-Term Care.

U.S. News' annual evaluation of nursing homes is highly selective, recognizing fewer than 19% of the evaluated U.S. nursing homes as "Best Nursing Homes" as part of the 2026 ratings. This designation is reserved only for facilities that satisfy U.S. News' rigorous, proprietary assessment criteria demonstrating a consistent and superior commitment to quality patient and resident care.

"This designation from U.S. News is a testament to the commitment of The Manor's entire team—from our nurses to clinical support—to continuously raise quality and safety efforts to higher levels," said Toni Lynn Davis, MHA, LNHA, FACHCA, Executive Director, Senior Services, The Manor. "Our incredibly skilled and dedicated team works hard every day to improve all aspects of compassionate, individualized care for our patients."

For the 2026 edition, U.S. News evaluated nearly 15,000 nursing homes on patient and resident outcomes, such as hospital readmission rates; staffing levels; health inspection results and other indicators of quality. The 2026 U.S. News Best Nursing Homes proprietary ratings feature a significant methodology update, expanding both the Short-Term Rehabilitation and Long-Term Care ratings to include 17 distinct quality measures each, offering a comprehensive assessment.

Located on the campus of Atlantic Health CentraState Medical Center, The Manor provides seamless, coordinated access to clinician expertise and comprehensive health care services. For more information, visit The Manor Health and Rehabilitation Center or call 732-431-5200.
