Easton, Pa., Skilled Nursing Facility Focused on Comprehensive Care and Services
EASTON, Pa., Jan. 5, 2022 — Building on its commitment to comprehensive care and services, New Eastwood Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center in Easton recently earned the American Heart Association’s (AHA’s) new Skilled Nursing Facility Heart Failure Center Certification. Located at 2125 Fairview Avenue, the 97-bed skilled nursing facility provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care.
The world’s leading nonprofit focused on heart and brain health, the AHA has invested more than $4.8 billion in research since its founding. Evaluation criteria for its new skilled nursing certification – earned by less than 1% of skilled nursing facilities nationwide, to date – was designed by heart failure experts. Certification requirements include program management, personnel education, clinical management, care coordination and performance improvement, as well as patient and caregiver education and support.
