Eastern Shore Rehabilitation And Health Center

Eastern Shore Rehabilitation And Health Center sits in Daphne, Alabama, right by Old Towne and overlooking Mobile Bay, so there are lots of rooms with a view of the water, and the whole place feels quiet and calm, which helps people heal or rest. The center has 117 certified beds for people who need long-term care or shorter rehabilitation after surgery, illness, or injury, and they also offer respite care and hospice services for those who need a break or end-of-life care, and they've got their own therapy gym-the largest one in Baldwin County-where licensed therapists help with physical, occupational, and speech therapies in a big, well-equipped suite. There are both private and semi-private rooms, many with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, and you can get a furnished or unfurnished room depending on what you want, and for folks who want more peace and quiet, there's a dedicated short-term rehab floor just with private rooms and baths. Nurses, therapists, and certified nursing assistants work together here, helping with medication, wound care, bathing, dressing, meals-including restaurant-style dining made by a chef, plus diabetic and other special diets-and they've got a 24-hour call system and 24-hour supervision with 12-16 hours a day of on-site nurses. The place accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, and it's been getting high marks in state inspections year after year, with a current overall grade of A+, and it's ranked in the top five percent of all nursing homes nationwide. It's a non-profit, not part of a big chain or a Continuing Care Retirement Community, but they've got a lot going on: there are fitness and wellness programs, a fitness room, gaming areas, a movie theater, salon, library, computer center, and outdoor spaces like walking paths and gardens, plus music and art activities, a spa/sauna, family meetings, and daily community-sponsored events and resident-run groups. They handle other medical services in-house too, such as dentistry, podiatry, lab work, nutrition counseling, pharmacy, and x-rays, and there's plenty of help for people who can't walk or need assistance with getting dressed, bathing, or transferring. Housekeeping, laundry, and move-in coordination are all included, and the community provides transportation, so residents can get to doctors' appointments, errands, and local spots like restaurants, parks, places of worship, pharmacies, or just around town. There's a resident council and a family council, so people can give feedback or stay involved, and staff focus on person-centered care, meaning everyone's needs and routines matter, whether someone stays a short time or long-term.
