Hartley Nursing and Rehab

Hartley Nursing and Rehab, which has been around for over 60 years, is a non-profit facility with 73 federally certified beds, and they take Medicaid and Medicare if you've got those, and the building is open around the clock every day of the week, with folks on staff who handle both your daily health needs and emotional care, and you'll find a director of nursing, a charge nurse, a mental and behavioral needs specialist, and a dedicated team handling everything from nursing care to supportive services. The rooms come with private bathrooms, cable TV, a kitchenette, telephone, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and furniture, so you don't have to bring much, and while you're here you get meals served in a restaurant-style dining area, which can meet special diets like for diabetes or allergies, and you'll see an activities director making sure there are things to do, from wellness programs to art or movie nights, music and games, and you've got a library, a fitness room, rooms for activities, and there's outdoor space with gardens and walking paths too if you like to be outside. The place gives help with bathing, dressing, and taking meds, as well as housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, transportation, and some parking options. There's 24-hour supervision, emergency alert systems, and a call system, plus a focus on safety protocols and best care practices, with non-ambulatory care and help for those needing transfers, and if you need it, they've got a business office to help with your funds or the paperwork for benefits. They say they aim for compassionate care and hope to meet your needs with respect, keeping folks comfortable, and offering resident-run activities, and since they cater to everyone regardless of age or faith, they try to make it feel home-like rather than institutional if that's what you're after. Now, in the most recent inspection there were 11 health deficiencies, and that's higher than the national average, and they paid a notable federal fine back in 2014 for some issues, so it's wise to know that, and the nurse staffing hours per resident are lower than state or national numbers, with only about 36 minutes of RN care per day, which is something you might want to keep in mind. Still, Hartley Nursing and Rehab scores well on a few important things: there's very good vaccination rates, low rates of physical restraints, low use of antipsychotic meds, and fewer long-term residents with depressive symptoms or falls, plus they offer a complaint procedure if you've ever got major concerns. Quality gets a four-star measurement, even if the overall Medicare rating is only one star out of five, so if you're considering this place for either short visits or longer stays, you'll want to look at the inspection reports yourself and, if you want more information on rules or life there, you can check their general info page at hartleyrehab.com, because while the care is wide-ranging and the people seem caring, the facts show a fair bit of room for improvement.
