Northampton Earns National Recognitions for Quality Care and Services

Quality care and services at Northampton Post Acute are being recognized at the national level. The Easton skilled nursing center earned a Silver – Achievement in Quality Award from the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL). The honor coincides with Northampton’s inclusion among America’s Best Nursing Homes 2025 by Newsweek.

AHCA/NCAL is the nation’s largest association of long-term and post-acute care providers. The Silver award represents the second of three distinctions possible through its National Quality Award Program, which acknowledges organizations that meet progressively rigorous standards of performance to further improve the lives of residents and staff in long term care.

Northampton received the AHCA/NCAL’s Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award in 2022. Now, as a 2024 Silver award recipient, the center can move on to the final and most prestigious level of the program, the Gold – Excellence in Quality Award. Trained examiners review each application to determine if the center has met the demands of criteria in the areas of leadership, strategic planning, customer and workforce, operations, and knowledge management.

“The Silver – Achievement in Quality Award reflects Northampton’s commitment to an ongoing pursuit of excellence,” said Danielle Koons, regional vice president of market development – Pennsylvania for Marquis Health Consulting Services, which supports Northampton. “The team is well deserving of this achievement as well as its second consecutive recognition as a Newsweek ‘Best Nursing Home.’”

Newsweek’s 2025 ratings are created in partnership with global data research firm Statista. Evaluation is based on performance data, peer recommendations, accreditations and resident satisfaction.

Located at 4100 Freemansburg Avenue, Northampton Post Acute provides post-hospital care, short-term rehab and long-term residential care. In addition to its most recent recognitions, the 180-bed facility this year 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 healthcare.
