Derry Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Derry Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits on Route 102 at 20 Chester Road in Derry, New Hampshire, and it's one of only two skilled nursing centers in the town, having served the community for over 40 years, and it deals mainly in helping older adults who need both daily help and medical care for things like recovery after surgery, medical conditions that need regular monitoring, and care towards the end of life, with a steady focus on quality rehabilitation and support. The facility holds 62 beds and usually has close to 49 residents each day, offering both private suites and shared rooms that come with private bathrooms, furnishings, air conditioning, internet, cable, and wifi, so folks find it easier to settle in. Residents get 24/7 nursing care here, with support that covers meals, housekeeping, laundry, personal care, pain management, medication help, and transportation either to doctor's appointments or around the facility, and there are always staff such as certified nurses, licensed medical staff, nurse assistants, and physical therapists on duty which helps keep things running, including mobility help, call systems for emergencies, and close supervision throughout the day and night. The place is set up with secured areas so those prone to wandering or confusion stay safe, with policies to watch over residents but also help them maintain as much independence as they can, though there's not much mention of fancy extras or unique names for programs. Derry Rehabilitation and Nursing Center takes several insurance plans like Medicaid, Medicare, AARP, Aetna, Cigna, Harvard Pilgrim, United Healthcare, Private Pay, VA CCN, and WellCare, and alongside daily care, residents can also get help with pain management, palliative care, hospice, stroke recovery, and post-surgery recovery, receiving support tailored to individual needs. It doesn't have any big awards or special features listed, and it's not taking in new patients at this time. The owners Akiva Horowitz and Ephram Lahasky share equal ownership, with Ephram Lahasky holding management control since August 2021. Info about the support staff's spoken language only mentions English, and the facility is currently working on updating its website to better help people who want to know more. Derry Rehabilitation and Nursing Center faces ongoing challenges; it's been cited for infection control issues and pharmacy practices, clocking 17 documented deficiencies in state reports, with 5 due to infection control and another relating to resident rights about drug self-administration, giving it the status of Special Focus Facility Candidate, meaning it has a history of serious problems flagged by inspectors, and the staff turnover rate for nurses is higher than the state average too, with fewer nursing hours per person daily than most other places nearby. Residents here get 3.19 nurse hours each day, which is below the state average, and some would say that while the basics are covered and care is steady, it pays to check inspection reports and updates before making any decisions. The center has a dedicated support team for questions and assistance and an email system in place, while its homepage gives sections like About Us, Our Services, Employment, Privacy Policy, and Contact Us, sharing what details it can about daily life and care.
