Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute in Madison has been named the No. 1 physical rehabilitation center in the Northeast on Newsweek’s list of America’s Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers 2026, the third consecutive year it has held the top spot in the region, Atlantic Health announced in October 2026.
The 38-bed rehabilitation hospital sits at 4 Giralda Farms in Madison (973-549-7500), according to its contact page. It is a joint venture of Atlantic Health and Lifepoint Rehabilitation, and Atlantic Health built the two-story hospital from the ground up. It opened in 2019 to meet the need for acute inpatient rehabilitation in New Jersey.
What ARI treats
The hospital specializes in neurological rehabilitation, stroke rehabilitation, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and amputation. Atlantic Health lists bionic assisted movement systems, therapeutic courtyards, fully outfitted rehabilitation gyms and a dedicated Activities of Daily Living suite, where patients practice everyday tasks before going home, among its facilities.
How Newsweek ranks rehab centers
The ranking is produced by Newsweek with Statista, the statistics and ranking firm. According to the release, the 25 states with the most facilities listed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services were ranked individually, and facilities in the remaining states were grouped into four regions: Northeast, Midwest, West and South.
Four data sources feed the score: quality metrics that CMS publishes for inpatient rehabilitation facilities, an online reputation survey of physicians, physical therapists, clinic managers and other health care professionals, quality designations from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities and the Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center, and Google reviews as a stand-in for patient satisfaction.
“Our team is driven by a commitment to exceptional care with the goal of helping patients recover function and return to their lives,” said Saif Salim, CEO of Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute. “We are honored that our dedication is now recognized multiple times over as the best in the region.”
Part of a strong year for Morris County health care
The Madison honor is one of several national recognitions for Atlantic Health facilities in Morris County this fall, a stretch that also includes Healthgrades’ 2027 awards for Morristown Medical Center and Chilton Medical Center.
ARI’s website includes a Make a Referral option for physicians and families, along with directions to the Giralda Farms campus and a separate medical records fax line on its contact page.
Giralda Farms is a short drive from downtown Madison. If you are spending time in town while a loved one is in rehab, our local’s guide to Madison and our list of the best restaurants in Madison are good places to start.
