Park Avenue Health Center

Park Avenue Health Center, which also operates as Park Avenue Healthcare, is a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Arlington offering both short-term and long-term care. Residents receive round-the-clock care, and the facility is small, with 89 beds, which allows for individualized attention. Short-term patients come to heal and regain independence, and staff help them arrange the support, equipment and community resources needed at home.

When residents arrive, every clinical department meets with them to build an individualized care plan. An in-house rehabilitation department provides physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech-language pathology. Meals are planned individually, with three balanced meals served daily, and a full schedule of recreational activities fills out the day. The facility recognizes the relationships residents have with their physicians, and it describes its medical team as highly regarded in the community.
