Bloomsburg Care and Rehabilitation Center sits at 211 East First Street in Bloomsburg, PA, in the Hemlock area, and it's a skilled nursing facility that helps people needing a lot of medical or personal care, sometimes just for a short while after a hospital stay and sometimes much longer. The staff includes nurses, doctors, social workers, and therapists who all work together to care for residents who might be very frail, recovering from strokes or heart issues, need diabetes management, or need memory support with Alzheimer's care, and they also offer hospice and palliative services for those who need them. Some people come just for rehabilitation between home and the hospital, while others stay longer for ongoing care, and the place also offers assisted living support for those who aren't as sick but can't live on their own anymore.
Residents have a range of services, like laundry, housekeeping, transportation to appointments, complimentary group trips to local events, and even amenities like a beauty salon or barber shop, a chapel for devotional and Christian services, and a library or reading room with newspapers and books to enjoy, as well as lounges, a shared dining room, and a social room for people to gather and spend time together. Staff run daily activities, including art classes, bingo, music, singing, dancing, movie nights, and religious events, so folks have something to do if they want. The kitchen cooks vegetarian and kosher meals, and residents can request food that fits their health needs. Showers and bathtubs in the wheelchair-accessible rooms help people bathe safely, and a bus takes residents to medical appointments when needed.
The facility has staff who understand American Sign Language and Spanish, so more people can communicate in the way that's best for them, and the care team creates personalized treatment plans for each resident. Bloomsburg Care and Rehabilitation Center has information and support about long-term care insurance, help for family caregivers, and resources for people worried about aging and ongoing medical treatment. There's a focus on making residents feel at home, and the team aims to provide compassionate care however long someone stays, with both short-term and long-term rehab services available if someone needs to build up strength to return home or needs to stay due to illness or memory loss. There are always healthcare professionals around, with both inpatient nursing and ongoing comprehensive care available, and the facility is set up to help people with high medical needs in a safe and comfortable space filled with chances to socialize, relax, and stay as independent as possible.
