Salem Care Center is a small, for-profit, corporate-owned nursing facility with a 60-bed capacity. It operates independently and is not affiliated with any continuing care retirement communities. The facility participates in both Medicare and Medicaid, which offers options for both short-term rehabilitation and longer-term nursing care for eligible residents. The home is not located within a hospital but is situated in proximity to medical services for resident convenience.
This nursing facility provides a range of services meant to support daily living needs and rehabilitation following hospital stays, as well as longer-term care for chronic conditions. It maintains a focus on upholding a safe, comfortable, and homelike environment for its residents. Like many skilled nursing homes, Salem Care Center is subject to routine health, fire, and safety inspections by relevant state and federal entities, which include investigations into food preparation standards and overall safety measures throughout the facility. Efforts are made to honor each resident’s right to manage personal affairs and finances, as well as ensure that personal funds held by the facility are secured appropriately.
In addition to maintaining comfortable accommodations, Salem Care Center implements programs and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. The facility is expected to develop and update individualized care plans that address each resident’s needs, establish proper infection control measures, and support residents in day-to-day activities. Staff training and education cover a variety of health initiatives, such as vaccinations for influenza, pneumonia, and COVID-19, with documentation practices in place to track vaccination status among both residents and employees.
Quality of care is also emphasized through efforts to create a safe environment, free from accident hazards, accompanied by adequate supervision to reduce risks. Routine assessments are performed to evaluate whether sufficient resources are available to competently care for residents under both normal and emergency circumstances. Staffing information is submitted using verifiable data sources, helping to ensure that appropriate care and oversight are maintained. In the last three years, Salem Care Center has paid one fine, reflecting its ongoing interactions with regulatory and oversight processes. The combined environment and service structure at Salem Care Center are designed to meet the professional standards expected in modern long-term care, offering support and resources to enhance residents’ daily experiences.
