Harbor Hill Center sits right at 2 Footbridge Road in Belfast along Belfast Harbor, and you can look out and see the water from some of the common spaces and the cheerful assisted living unit, with gardens and a sunroom that catch the light. The center is a nursing home that's part of Genesis HealthCare, and it's known for offering many different services, including short-stay nursing care, long-term care, assisted living, home health, and hospice care, so there's a mix of help for people who might be there for just a little while or for the long haul. The staff speak English and there are interpreter services for when folks need help talking about care or health. The place has private and semi-private apartments, and the rooms come with phones and TVs, so folks feel settled in.
People who come here can get skilled nursing care at any hour-nurses are always on-site-and there are attending physicians and a nurse practitioner who make rounds. They've got physical, occupational, and speech therapy, along with orthopedic rehab for people healing up from joint replacements or injuries, and they cover things like IV therapy, wound care, pain management, and more. You can get care for things like colostomy, podiatry, dental, audiology, and there's help with managing medications, discharge planning, and nutrition, too. They also run programs like RevitalCare and offer contract rehab therapy when needed.
Harbor Hill Center helps people stay comfortable with palliative and respite care, and they've got case management to make sure folks have what they need. People can get support with personal care, and the staff helps everyone stay active. There are activity rooms, a fitness room, gardens, and even a beauty salon, and they organize cultural, educational, religious, and social events. They set up transportation when somebody needs a ride and keep a 24-hour emergency alert system so help's always close. For payment, they take Medicare, Medicaid, and most private insurance plans. Even though they aren't taking new patients right now, past residents and families have given the place high marks for the staff, tidiness, and attention to detail, and the facility received the AHCA Quality Initiative Recognition for its good results in care and improvement.
Harbor Hill Center isn't the fanciest place, but it does cover a lot of nursing, rehab, and support needs for older adults and those needing care after a hospital stay, and with its spot by the harbor and pleasant rooms, folks can find comfort and help in a setting that's both active and peaceful.
