The facility is equipped to accept residents for short-term rehabilitation needs and those requiring long-term nursing support.
The team at Healthbridge Post-Acute Rehabilitation delivers an average of 4 hours and 37 minutes of nurse staffing per resident per day, reflecting a commitment to attentive and consistent care. Residents at the facility have demonstrated a 65% rate of successfully returning home after their stay, a significant marker for rehabilitation centers. During their time at Healthbridge, approximately 0.6% of residents have experienced a fall with major injury, indicating a relatively low incidence compared to broader benchmarks. Within short-term rehabilitation stays, around 5.2% have resulted in hospitalization due to serious infections, while 17.7% of short-term residents have required emergency room visits during their rehabilitation period.
Healthbridge Post-Acute Rehabilitation has been subject to routine inspections by oversight agencies, focusing on aspects such as safety, staffing, infection control, pharmacy services, food service, and resident rights. The most recent inspection cycle involved evaluations on areas like development and implementation of comprehensive care plans, safe environments free from hazards, appropriate respiratory and pharmaceutical care, infection prevention programs, functioning call systems in resident bathrooms and bathing areas, medical records management, electronic submission of care staffing data, and safeguarding of resident rights including dignified existence, self-determination, and the ability to voice grievances.
While some cited areas required corrective action, most issues noted during recent inspections were classified as having low potential for harm and affected only a few residents, with improvements documented following these findings. Examples include the timely reporting of suspected abuse or neglect, ensuring developments of care plans within regulatory timeframes, maintaining proper labeling and storage of pharmaceuticals, assuring food is sourced and prepared according to professional standards, and implementing infection prevention protocols. The facility has also addressed requirements for accurate staffing reports and maintenance of working call systems in bathrooms and bathing areas, supporting both safety and responsive care.
Healthbridge Post-Acute Rehabilitation stands as an option for individuals in need of short-term rehabilitation or ongoing nursing care, with access to both Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Emphasizing nursing staffing levels, rehabilitation outcomes, and attention to safety and resident rights, the facility continues to provide care for those transitioning from hospital to home or seeking extended assistance with daily living and medical needs.
