Exeter Center sits at 8 Hampton Road in Exeter, New Hampshire and has 81 beds for residents, though right now the center isn't taking new patients, and the place is pretty focused on helping people who need skilled nursing care, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. The staff mostly speaks English, but some may know other languages, and interpreter services are available for those who need them, which can help a lot. There are licensed nurses on duty day and night, and the center also has an on-site Medical Director as well as attending physicians who visit, so people get different kinds of care depending on their needs, including long-term and short-term stays, respite care, hospice, rehabilitation, and even palliative care. Exeter Center is entirely smoke-free, and they do what they can to create a safe, secure, and nurturing environment, with an alarm system for residents-especially for people who may have trouble with memory or confusion, which makes things a bit safer around the halls.
The center runs its own Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic, offering a specific program called "Rehab" that covers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they help people with things like post-fall recovery and rehabilitation, wound and IV care, and specialized therapy services under contract. If someone has breathing issues, respiratory therapy is available as well, plus there's pain management, psychiatric support, vision, dental, podiatry, and colostomy care, which is a big range for people who need different kinds of help. Exeter Center also has outpatient service centers and therapeutic transition suites for those moving between types of care. The place provides meals with in-room dining options and a dining room for those who prefer to sit with others, and they pay attention to special diets and nutritional needs.
Residents can use wireless internet and phone service, watch cable TV, and get laundry, housekeeping, and mail and newspaper deliveries on-site, which keeps things running smoothly and saves trips for little daily needs. The center has private and semi-private rooms, comfortable lounge areas, a fitness room, and an activity room, along with opportunities for recreation-cultural, social, religious, and educational activities, all included. Exeter Center develops individual treatment plans and manages medication and case management, and when it's time to leave, the staff does discharge planning. Interpreter services help when language barriers come up. For security, the center uses an alarm system, especially for residents with cognitive deficits. The environment is comfortable, and the center offers a quiet place to recover, with care choices matched to every resident's unique needs. Right now no new patients are being accepted, but Exeter Center continues to provide specialized care for those already there.
