Skilled Nursing

Harborside Healthcare's skilled nursing programs and services are designed for patients with medically complex needs. These programs and services are particularly valuable for people who have recently been in the hospital and who need a transitional-care option between their hospital stay and their return home.

Our licensed nurses are prepared to meet the complex medical needs of all their patients, both long and short term. But the success of Harborside's skilled nursing capabilities is built on treatment by an interdisciplinary team of professionals, including nurses, therapists, pharmacists, dietitians, social workers and case managers. These teams work under the medical direction of a physician.

We take an integrated approach to a patient's medical, rehabilitative, social, and emotional needs, and plan for every aspect of patient recovery. By helping our patients become more knowledgeable about their condition, they can be more actively involved in their own health care and more independent in performing daily activities.

Harborside Healthcare's overall goal is to help people coping with complex medical needs achieve their highest possible level of function and self-sufficiency.

Long-Term Care

For our extended-stay residents, Harborside Healthcare facilities focus on combining top quality skilled nursing services with practical and experienced assistance with activities of daily living. Our long-term care programs provide our residents with three important elements designed to give them the best possible quality of life:

• A caring, safe, supportive environment that helps to preserve a sense of dignity and self-worth;

• Restorative care that helps maintain their current level of function and keep their condition from deteriorating;

• And, a variety of social and recreational activities, so that they can live as actively and independently as possible.

Our goal is to integrate the delivery of high quality long-term care with a sense of family, connection, and community in a positive, cheerful and patient atmosphere.

For residents affected with Alzheimer's disease and dementia, Harborside Healthcare is committed to enhancing their life experience through a range of programs and services customized to each resident's need.

Rehabilitation

The overarching goal of our rehabilitation programs is to obtain the best possible results for our patients. To make this happen, we:

• Start with a team of experienced professionals who are advocates committed to caring for our residents;

• Begin discharge planning at the time of admission;

• Identify short and long-term goals and a create a care plan that maps out how to reach those goals;

• Provide daily treatment to foster progress and success;

• Transition to a course of restorative care, when appropriate, to test the durability of newly acquired skills and to continue to improve stamina;

• And, involve family and at-home caregivers to keep them informed and to prepare them the support the patient upon discharge.

Harborside Healthcare has successfully discharged thousand of patients to live the most independent lifestyles they can achieve. More detailed information on our rehabilitation philosophy and our rehab services can be found here.
