Philadelphia, PA – Centennial Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026, recognized among Pennsylvania’s top facilities in the 150+ bed category.
The annual ranking, developed in partnership with Statista, evaluates nursing homes nationwide based on quality metrics, clinical performance, reputation among healthcare professionals, and resident satisfaction.
Located in the heart of West Philadelphia, Centennial Healthcare has long served as a cornerstone of care for the community. The 180-bed skilled nursing facility offers a full continuum of services including short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and specialized clinical programs such as cardiac recovery, respiratory care, and orthopedic rehab. As a VA-contracted facility, Centennial is also proud to serve those who have served, providing dedicated care and support to veterans in the region.
Known for its hands-on clinical leadership and highly personalized approach, Centennial emphasizes coordinated, on-site specialty care and proactive programs designed to reduce hospital readmissions and support stronger long-term outcomes.
“This recognition reflects something deeper than rankings,” said Jay Berger, Administrator at Centennial Healthcare. “In this community, families don’t just look for a facility, they look for a place they trust. We’ve built that trust over time by showing up every day with consistency, clinical rigor, and a genuine commitment to knowing our residents as people, not just patients. That includes the veterans we’re privileged to care for. Being named to this list tells us that approach is making a real impact.”
Conveniently located at Girard and Belmont Avenues, Centennial remains a highly accessible option for families across Philadelphia, with close proximity to many of the region’s leading hospitals and a strong connection to the surrounding neighborhood.
