Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute ranked No. 1 in the Northeast by Newsweek

Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute was recently named to Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025.

Atlantic was additionally ranked first in the Northeast. The facility specializes in neurological rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputation.

The America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2025 ranking recognizes the leading physical rehabilitation facilities in the U.S. The 25 states with the most facilities according to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services were ranked individually. The facilities from the remaining states were grouped into 4 regions: Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. 

  • In all, five New Jersey based facilities made the list. They are:
  • Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute, Madison
  • Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation, West Orange
  • Princeton Medical Center, Plainsboro
  • Encompass Health Rehab Hospital of Tinton Falls, Tinton Falls
  • Encompass Health Rehab Hospital of Toms River

The list was based on four separate data metrics:

  • Quality Metric: Data for inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs) published by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
  • National Online Survey: An online survey among experts with knowledge of physical rehabilitation centers (physicians, physiotherapists, doctors, clinic managers, and other health care professionals) was conducted in cooperation with Newsweek.
  • Accreditation: Data on physical rehabilitation centers provided by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC).
  • Google Reviews: Reviews from Google were included as a proxy for patient satisfaction.

Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute CEO Saif Salim praised the work of his team. 

“We’re proud to be recognized on Newsweek’s list and to see our hospital ranked highest in the Northeast Region,” he said. “This award highlights the remarkable and industry-leading care our team of rehabilitation professionals delivers every day. We meet patients at some of the most difficult crossroads in their lives and know the impact that patient-centered treatment can have on their recovery journeys.”
