The facility is now referred to as the Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing at Washington Township.
Jefferson Health Care Center has joined Allaire Health Services' family of skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities.
For the past year, the New Jersey-based provider of short- and long-term care has been working with Jefferson Health's leadership team to transition operations to Allaire's management and ownership. The facility is the largest provider in the Philadelphia area and has served patients for more than 35 years.
Going forward, Jefferson Health will be known as the Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing at Washington Township.
"We are very excited about adding the Jefferson Health Care Center to the Allaire family," Ben Kurland, LNHA, CDP, RACT-CT, president and CEO of Allaire Health Services, said in a statement.
"In this building, we see tremendous opportunity to impact the health and wellness of the region in collaborating with Jefferson Health. Jefferson Health is a tremendous organization, providing a comprehensive array of advanced specialty services.”
Kurland is also confident that Allaire's model of care and collaboration with hospitals and physicians will extend the value that both entities aspire to deliver to the market. The provider now owns and operates 13 facilities spread throughout New Jersey, Vermont, and Pennsylvania.
"Quality of care has always been our top priority for Jefferson Health and we believe that Allaire shares this passion for excellence," Brian Sweeney, RN, MBA, FACHE, regional president of Jefferson Health, said in a statement.
"Their extensive experience and commitment to fostering strong relationships with residents, their families, and staff members will ensure that patients will continue to receive the high-quality care they have come to expect.”
