Third-Party Recognition Underscores Genesis Healthcare’s Ongoing Commitment to Excellence in Skilled Nursing Care
12/19/2025

Kennett Square, PA – Genesis Healthcare, Inc. (Genesis) today announced that multiple of its affiliated skilled nursing facilities have earned national recognition from U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek for 2026, reinforcing the organization’s continued commitment to quality, compassionate care and operational excellence as validated by independent, third-party assessments.

Across the two respected rankings, Genesis-affiliated centers were recognized for performance in both long-term care and short-term rehabilitation, based on evaluations of clinical outcomes, staffing, patient and resident experience, safety measures, and overall quality indicators.

“These recognitions are meaningful because they are grounded in objective data and independent analysis,” said Lauren Murray, Chief Operating Officer of Genesis. “They reflect the real, day-to-day work happening inside our centers, with caregivers showing up with professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering focus on doing what is right for the people we serve.”

Eleven Genesis-affiliated facilities were recognized by U.S. News & World Report as Best Nursing Homes for 2026, while four centers were named to Newsweek’s America’s Best Nursing Homes for 2026 list, developed in partnership with global data firm Statista. Both rankings are highly selective, identifying only a small percentage of nursing homes nationwide that meet or exceed established benchmarks for care quality and outcomes.

The following Genesis-affiliated facilities earned national recognition for 2026 from U.S. News & World Report and Newsweek.

Recognition Rooted in Performance and Quality

The Newsweek and U.S. News evaluations assess key indicators of quality, including staffing, clinical outcomes, health inspections, accreditation, and patient and resident experience. These recognitions align with Genesis’ strong 2025 performance, reflecting sustained operational improvement and high satisfaction across its affiliated centers.

“Independent recognition like this does not happen by chance,” said Murray. “It reflects focused investment in leadership and clinical excellence, supported by a culture that consistently puts patients and residents first.” National recognition from trusted third-party organizations validates the quality of care being delivered at the center level and reinforces Genesis’ continued commitment to excellence.

“These honors affirm the dedication of our teams and the strong foundation they are building for the future,” Murray added.
