Salem Care Center is a small, for-profit nursing facility that offers 60 beds for residents seeking skilled nursing care and support. The center participates in both Medicare and Medicaid, making it accessible to individuals who qualify for these programs. While it is not part of a continuing care retirement community and does not operate within a hospital, Salem Care Center strives to address the needs of its residents through a variety of support services tailored to seniors.
The facility undergoes regular inspections by oversight agencies to assess health, fire, and safety protocols. Recent inspection cycles have documented the center's efforts in maintaining a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. Notably, the facility has worked to meet standards in areas such as food preparation, daily living support, and accident prevention. Inspections have also included evaluation of the center’s response to resident grievances, the development of care plans, and staff training regarding infection control and vaccination practices.
Financial management for residents is another area of service at Salem Care Center, as the facility is entrusted to manage personal funds for some who reside there. Additionally, maintaining up-to-date policies on flu, pneumonia, and COVID-19 vaccination, along with documentation and education for both staff and residents, form part of the center’s ongoing commitment to public health. The center has also faced assessments relating to the submission of staffing information and emergency preparedness, underscoring the importance placed on operational transparency and resident safety.
Salem Care Center operates under corporate ownership with a primary focus on providing long-term care to seniors who may need rehabilitation following a hospital stay or ongoing skilled nursing. The center’s participation in Medicare ensures that qualifying residents may receive short-term rehabilitation care following hospitalization, while Medicaid support can extend coverage for those who require longer-term residential care. Through these programs, Salem Care Center aims to offer a supportive, homelike environment where residents' day-to-day needs are met with professionalism and compassion.
