The Harborview Center For Nursing and Rehabilitation sits at 1 Chief Justice Cushing Hwy in Cohasset, MA, and you'll find that it's a skilled nursing facility where people can get both short-term rehab and long-term care in a peaceful setting. You'll notice 80 beds here, all in a space made to help residents stay safe, with handrails and special features for people who use wheelchairs or walkers, and the rooms come with cable TV, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, which makes things more comfortable for folks staying a while. Every meal comes from a dining service that offers allergy-friendly and diabetic options, and residents can eat in a restaurant-style dining room. There are daily activities, both community-sponsored and resident-run, like arts and crafts, movie nights, library visits, music programs, and off-site outings, and the staff runs social events to help everyone feel connected.
There's a team with Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants on hand for both 12- to 16-hour nursing care and a 24-hour call system, and the staff keeps an eye on safety round the clock. There's help with daily things like bathing, getting dressed, and remembering to take medicine, with personal laundry and housekeeping included. The center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and VA benefits, and the facility has a CMS certification as a skilled nursing provider, with care for people who've had strokes, who need wound care or pain management, or who just need some help getting strong again after a hospital stay. There are full departments just for occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy, and they'll set up individualized care plans to fit what each person needs, including counseling for residents and families. People who need hospice or respite care can get that as well, and there are support services for families and an organized group for residents to share their views.
The property's clean and well-kept, with outside gardens and walking paths, a fitness room, a spa/wellness room, a beautician, a salon/barbershop, activity spaces, a movie theater, and a library. Staff work to help every resident hold onto as much independence as possible, and if someone needs help moving in or finding special community support, that service is available, too. While the center is focused mainly on nursing and rehab for people after illness or hospital stays, it's also got long-term care for those who need extra help for longer stretches, and the goal is always the safety, wellness, and dignity of each resident with a focus on recovery when possible. The Harborview Center isn't accepting new patients right now, but when it does, folks can expect a supportive environment for both residents and their families.
