The Oxford Rehabilitation & Health Care Center has 120 certified beds and an average daily census of 114 residents, so you'll usually find the place pretty full and busy. The care team is made up of physicians, nurses, rehabilitation specialists, and staff that handle dietary, recreation, social services, and all kinds of ongoing health needs, and there's always a licensed nurse on duty. Folks who come here can get skilled nursing care, long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, and special medical or social support like help for substance use disorder, hospice care, or diabetes management. If you're recovering from a surgery, dealing with a condition like pulmonary disease, or need help managing pain or wounds, the clinical staff know how to take care of complicated health issues. There are programs for speech, physical, and occupational therapy that focus on improving strength, independence, and wellbeing, and the therapy is tailored to fit both the physical issues and the emotional or social parts of recovery. They work hard to keep menus flexible through the nutrition department, which takes food likes and dislikes into account. There are activities and events almost every week, so residents can do things together or engage with the broader community, which matters when you're away from home.
It's worth noting the center has had some trouble meeting state and federal inspection standards, and it's been cited for several deficiencies, including not keeping the place as homelike or safe as it should have been and not protecting residents from harm as expected, with 42 deficiencies noted in reports. The nursing staff averages about 3.23 hours per resident each day and has a turnover rate of 25.3%, which means you might notice new faces more often than you'd expect at other places. Oxford is owned and managed by Athena Health Care Systems, which has run the place since June 2014 and holds full ownership through Athena Health Care Systems Ma Iii Llc, so the management and procedures follow Athena's company standards. The center's Medicare certified and accredited by the Joint Commission, and they try to give care with respect for residents' dignity, but the inspection history is something families and residents usually want to consider before deciding.
