North End Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, a member of Marquis Health Services, today announced the completion of a $6 million renovation to modernize the building and enhance programming for rehabilitation patients and long-term care residents.
 Marquis Health Services made extensive upgrades across all four floors of the 100-bed center located at 70 Fulton St. in Boston, including:
• A redesigned, welcoming lobby on the first floor, leading to a 3,000-square-foot therapy gym with state-of-the-art rehab equipment, a Smart car and a model kitchen to help transition rehab patients to activities at home, and a bedroom and bath suite where patients can regain mobility and independence in daily activities with specialized therapists.
• A spacious beauty and barber salon, expanded nurses’ station, clinical staff offices, and 31 subacute-care, semi-private rooms completely refurbished with new flooring, furniture, fixtures and flat-screen TVs on the second floor, along with renovated long-term care rooms on the 40-bed third floor.
• A new, physician-led cardiopulmonary specialty program on the fourth floor with 29 private suites equipped with piped-in oxygen and suction and outfitted with stylish furniture.
“We are pleased to be able to provide the North End community, and beyond, with the very latest in quality care, comfort, and rehabilitation technology,†said Norman Rokeach, CEO of Marquis Health Services. “We look forward to continuing our collaboration with local health care providers and providing compassionate care to our patients and residents.â€
North End Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center provides comprehensive cardiopulmonary care under the direction of a board-certified clinical team including Dr. Stephen Abraham, a cardiologist affiliated with Massachusetts General Hospital, and Dr. Maher Tabba, a pulmonologist affiliated with Tufts Medical Center. The fourth-floor program 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.
In addition to Mass General and Tufts Medical Center, North End Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center also collaborates with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Medical Center, and Spaulding Rehabilitation.
Marquis Health Services launched the renovation project after assuming operational management of the facility in November 2017, following its acquisition by affiliate Tryko Partners, LLC from Spaulding Rehabilitation. The facility first opened in 1983. North End Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center maintains a four-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and operates under the auspices of Marquis Health Services, a third-generation, family-owned healthcare management firm that is a recognized leader in providing subacute rehabilitation and skilled nursing care. The company operates nearly 3,000 beds at 23 New England and Mid-Atlantic facilities.
