Valley View Haven leads Mifflin County nursing homes in Q1 2026

Valley View Haven, Inc. emerged as the largest nursing home in Mifflin County in the first quarter of 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) reports.

With 162 beds available, the facility offered 23 more than the Mifflin County average during the period. On average, 103.5 residents received care there in the quarter.

The nursing home received a perfect 5-out-of-5 overall CMS rating, surpassing the Pennsylvania statewide average rating of 3 for nursing homes.

Greenwood Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing held the position as the second largest facility in Mifflin County for the same period with 134 beds, followed by William Penn Nursing and Rehab, which reported 121 beds.

Valley View Haven, Inc. reported no fines or penalties during the first quarter of 2026.

There was just one non-profit nursing home in Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, at that time.

U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the older adult population nationwide is growing while the number of children is declining. From 2020 to 2024, Americans ages 65 and up increased by 13%, and people under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The nation’s population of older adults has expanded sharply in the past 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million as of 2024.

A 2021 analysis found that nearly half of adults in this age group—about 28 million individuals—may need long-term care and support. The findings also suggest over one-third of them may ultimately require nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education group. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
