Laurel Brook Earns Two Gold Seals of Approval® from Joint Commission

Laurel Brook Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Mount Laurel has earned two prestigious Gold Seals of Approval® for its quality care and services from The Joint Commission, the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care. Located at 3718 Church Road, the 220-bed skilled nursing center provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care.

Laurel Brook earned its Nursing Care Center Accreditation and Post-Acute Care Certification after a rigorous, unannounced onsite review by the independent, nonprofit organization. During the visit, The Joint Commission team evaluated compliance with performance standards across a range of areas, including emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, and leadership.

The Joint Commission’s evidence-based standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement specialists and patients to help health care organizations measure, assess and improve performance. An organization that achieves The Gold Seal of Approval shows its commitment to holding itself accountable to a high bar for quality and safety for those they serve.

“The Joint Commission’s thorough review is patient centric and data driven, with a keen focus on evaluating actual care processes,” said Kate Bauer, regional director of market development at Marquis Health Consulting Services, which supports Laurel Brook. “Earning two Gold Seals from The Joint Commission reflects the Laurel Brook team’s commitment to excellence each and every day.”

Laurel Brook’s specialty initiatives, including its recently introduced OrthoWIN, a highly specialized subacute care program for orthopedic recovery, are designed to meet area demand. The OrthoWIN platform – with its clear quality measures and a standardized approach – features a guided PM&R plan, seven-days-per-week therapy services as warranted, coordination with a patient’s surgical team on preferences, and wound care management.
