About Linwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

+
Linwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, located at 100 Florida Avenue in Scranton, Pennsylvania, provides dedicated skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to residents of the greater Lackawanna County region. As a nonprofit corporation, Linwood is guided by a mission of community service rather than profit, ensuring that every care decision centers on the well-being of residents and the peace of mind of their families. Scranton offers a rich backdrop for residents and visiting loved ones alike. The city's South Side neighborhood, where Linwood is situated, is a close-knit community with deep roots. Nearby Moses Taylor Hospital and Geisinger Community Medical Center—both within a few miles—ensure that residents have access to top-tier acute care when needed, and specialists are readily available throughout the region. For families visiting from out of town, Steamtown Mall and the Viewmont Mall in the nearby Moosic/Dickson City corridor provide convenient shopping and dining options. Scranton's cultural life enriches the experience for residents and families. The Steamtown National Historic Site, the Electric City Trolley Museum, and the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour speak to the city's proud industrial heritage. Nay Aug Park, with its gorge trails and aquatic center, is a beloved green space just minutes away, offering a peaceful oasis for afternoon outings. Cooper's Seafood House and numerous local eateries along Moosic Street bring familiar, hometown comfort to family visits. At Linwood, skilled nursing care is delivered by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants around the clock. Rehabilitation therapies—physical, occupational, and speech—are designed to help residents regain function and independence following surgery, illness, or injury. The nonprofit structure means resources are reinvested directly into staffing, programs, and the quality of the living environment. Families choosing Linwood can trust that their loved one is in the hands of a team driven by purpose, not by profit.
