About this facility
Easton Hospital is a Medicare-certified inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) located in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. It has been Medicare-certified since July 1, 1984, and is operated as a non-profit facility.
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities like Easton Hospital provide intensive, hospital-level therapy — typically including physical, occupational, and speech therapy — for patients recovering from events such as a stroke, major surgery, or a serious injury. The goal of an IRF stay is to help patients regain enough strength and function to return safely to their home or community, rather than remain in a longer-term custodial care setting such as a nursing home.
CMS Care Compare tracks several plain-language quality measures for IRFs, including how often patients are discharged back to the community, rates of potentially-preventable hospital readmissions, and rates of healthcare-associated infections such as catheter-related urinary tract infections and C. diff. For Easton Hospital, none of these measures are currently reported by CMS, which often occurs when a facility has too few qualifying cases in the reporting period to produce a reliable statistic. This is not an indication of poor quality — it simply means CMS has not published comparative data for this facility at this time.
Based on the available CMS data, Easton Hospital shows 0 measures rated better than the national benchmark and 0 measures rated worse. Families considering this facility should contact Easton Hospital directly and review the most current information on CMS Care Compare before making a decision. Source: CMS Care Compare.
