Hunt Nursing & Rehab Center has been part of the Danvers, Massachusetts community since 1976, so there's a long history of caring for local seniors at this 120-bed, non-profit skilled nursing facility, and with a daily average of about 110 residents and a dedicated team of highly trained staff, people there get medical care, rehab, and personal support on a steady basis. The facility, managed by Integritus Healthcare Management Services Inc and Fairview Extended Care Services Inc since February 2022, provides both long-term and short-term stays, including memory care, palliative care, hospice care, respite care, and restorative care, all with a focus on helping residents keep as much independence as possible, even when health needs change.
Residents get a wide range of therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy in a state-of-the-art rehab gym that's open seven days a week, and there's a special focus on rehabilitation after surgeries, injuries like fractures, joint replacements, stroke recovery, orthopedic rehab, and complex heart or lung issues, with teams experienced in cardiac monitoring and diabetes management. The staff help with wound care, recovery planning, and create unique care plans based on doctors' orders, so folks get care that matches their exact health needs whether they're there for a short stay after a hospital visit or need ongoing support because they have Alzheimer's or other long-term conditions.
There's a home-like feel with private or semi-private rooms that are fully furnished and come with individual heating and air-conditioning controls, flat-screen TVs with free DIRECTV®, Wi-Fi, and free phone service. Amenities like a beauty and barber shop help residents feel comfortable, while regular exercise classes, recreation, and wellness programs try to keep daily life interesting. The center's nurse turnover rate is 59.3% and staff provide an average of 3.58 nurse hours per resident each day, and with an onsite team of specialists, visiting clinicians, and tools in place for safe transitions between different types of care, residents and their families can expect steady communication about their health.
As a part of Berkshire Healthcare and with links to broader employment and wellness resources online, the facility tries to balance the medical side of things with efforts to create a friendly, safe space, offering special programs like falls prevention, culture change for more person-focused care, and reducing unnecessary medications. The aim across all services at Hunt Nursing & Rehab Center-whether it's therapy, medical monitoring, social support, or help with daily needs-remains helping each person keep their dignity, independence, and comfort for as long as possible.
