Anyone know of a Rehab or Skilled Care nursing that does peritoneal dialysis?

My son and I are caretakers for my ex-husband. He is on peritoneal dialysis (has done well on it for 18 months!), and ended up in the hospital with COVID a month ago. It was a long haul, but he has pulled through. However, he is now significantly weaker than he was before Covid, so he will need to be discharged to a rehab or skilled care nursing facility, rather than the assisted living facility he was living at.

Our problem is that we cannot find a rehab or skilled care nursing facility that does peritoneal dialysis. He cannot do hemodialysis due to a heart condition, so either we find a facility that does PD, or he just dies without dialysis.

So, does anyone know of a rehabilitation or skilled care nursing facility in Pennsylvania or a nearby state that provides peritoneal dialysis? Any suggestions/possibilities would be greatly appreciated!
