Claremont Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Claremont Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits along Claremont Road in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and folks will notice pretty quickly that this place's really focused on people needing skilled nursing or rehab after things like surgery or illness, with 282 beds and a bunch of different care programs covering short-term rehab, long-term stays, dementia care, and dialysis, and they set aside a 39-bed Transitions unit where people can get seven-days-a-week therapy if they're trying to get home again. They've got a whole team onboard; registered dietitians watch over nutrition, social workers support folks and their families, and a wound care RN helps with healing, plus a chaplain's there to run weekly religious services and talk when someone wants it, since not everyone's got family close by. They've opened what they call a Dialysis Den, so people with kidney issues don't have to head out for treatment, which sure makes things easier and might keep folks from missing their usual routines. The care at Claremont covers the bases, whether someone needs help for a little while getting their strength back, has a chronic illness, or needs support for memory loss in the secured dementia care area, and they've got specialized programs for things like cardiac care, behavioral health, palliative care, respiratory needs, and even telemedicine. People who leave to go home get scheduled follow-up calls so someone's checking in. The grounds have a courtyard and landscaping and that big atrium for meals, with a snack bar, computer labs, cable and Wi-Fi, beauty and barber shop, and spots for activities or field trips, and they make it easier for people to stay busy or reach family with extra services like transportation, phone lines, and laundry. Staff tries to keep things comfortable and keep everyone's needs and interests in mind, and they offer respite care so caregivers can get a break, too. The care comes from Allaire Health Services and Claremont actually got Newsweek's Best Nursing Homes recognition, which is a point of pride. More details or current info's on their website, for anyone checking it out.
