Partnership with Compass Home Dialysis Brings Groundbreaking Treatment to Yeadon, Pa., Skilled Nursing Facility\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n YEADON, Pa., Sept. 26, 2019<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Marquis Health Services<\/a>\u00a0has partnered with\u00a0Compass Home Dialysis<\/a>\u00a0to bring staff-assisted bedside hemodialysis to its\u00a0Providence Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center<\/a>\u00a0in Yeadon. The new offering is designed to improve patient quality of life while significantly reducing hospital readmissions.<\/p>\n Traditionally, skilled nursing residents with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) have been transported to dialysis clinics for lengthy treatments three times weekly. Recently, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) approved portable dialysis to be administered in skilled nursing environments.<\/p>\n \u201cESRD\u00a0patients in skilled nursing facilities tend to be frail, and the dialysis process \u2013 itself \u2013 is taxing,\u201d noted Jeremy K. Graves, chief operating officer of Bryn Mawr, Pa.-based Compass Home Dialysis. \u201cThis program allows Providence residents\u00a0who need dialysis\u00a0to remain in the comfort of the place they are getting their\u00a0full\u00a0care\u00a0regimen. Further, the equipment used in bedside hemodialysis more closely mimics natural kidney function and enables shorter treatments four or five days per week. Instead of dialysis peaks and valleys, this treatment provides more of a gradual wave \u2013 which is far less stressful on the body and, more specifically, the heart.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Graves, this type of program has been known to reduce hospital readmission rates by up to 23%.<\/p>\n Marquis Health Services\u2019 Norman Rokeach, chief executive officer, said the innovative culture at Compass Home Dialysis makes the partnership a natural fit. \u201cThis program is a groundbreaking step forward in renal disease management,\u201d he noted. \u201cCompass as an organization is clearly committed to eliminating barriers in quality of care. Its patient-first mentality matches ours. And the company\u2019s innovation and flexibility make this a truly collaborative relationship that is benefiting the residents of Providence Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center.\u201d<\/p>\n Further, Compass offers a \u201cDialysis Your Way\u201d program that enables patients to continue the same service once they return to their own homes. \u201cOur Dialysis Your Way program is revolutionizing access to care by breaking down barriers for those patients who wish to continue this tailored home dialysis service upon discharge from Providence,\u201d said Efraim Elchonen, chief executive officer and founder of Compass Home Dialysis. \u201cWe are proud of this patient-focused program and excited to be aligned with Marquis\u2019 initiative of shifting dialysis care to the home environment.\u201d<\/p>\n Marquis acquired Providence \u2013 which provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care \u2013 in 2018, and last fall the 129-bed facility launched a well-received Cardio Pulmonary Care Program. That physician-led offering focuses on promoting independence and quality of life through reducing symptoms and decreasing disability in heart and lung patients, while increasing their participation in physical and social activities.<\/p>\n The recent programming enhancements are part of a $2.5 million capital campaign designed to serve the healthcare needs of area residents. Physical renovation work underway at Providence is further modernizing the two-story, 52,000-square-foot facility. Improvements include extensive upgrades to its rehab therapy gym, lobby, common areas, and private and semi-private patient rooms.<\/p>\n Located on the campus of Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, Providence Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center maintains a four-star rating from CMS, with a five-star rating for quality measures. The facility is located at 600 South Wycombe Avenue in Yeadon, a Philadelphia suburb in Delaware County. Marquis Health Services, the healthcare affiliate of\u00a0Tryko Partners, LLC<\/a>, is a recognized leader in providing subacute rehabilitation and skilled nursing care. The company operates nearly 3,000 beds at 23 Mid-Atlantic and New England facilities.<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n Media Inquiries: Partnership with Compass Home Dialysis Brings Groundbreaking Treatment to Yeadon, Pa., Skilled Nursing Facility\u00a0 \u00a0 YEADON, Pa., Sept. 26, 2019\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Marquis Health Services\u00a0has partnered with\u00a0Compass Home Dialysis\u00a0to bring staff-assisted bedside hemodialysis to its\u00a0Providence Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center\u00a0in Yeadon.
