People living there get help with things like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and if they've just been through a rough patch, there's a rehab clinic and programs like Powerback Rehabilitation and the ACCELerate Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation setup, so if someone's been in the hospital and needs to get their strength back, the team of nurses and therapists help with that through physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they offer outpatient rehab too. There's a Transitional Care Unit for folks who need extra attention for things like heart issues, and Hackett Hill Center's even earned the Skilled Nursing Facility Heart Failure Certification from the American Heart Association®, which not every place gets, and they also offer cardiac care, palliative support, and all sorts of special medical services, whether that's wound care, audiology, or diabetes management. There are on-site medical directors and nurse practitioners, and you'll see a steady rotation of happy, helpful staff-folks say the team's joyful and kind, which makes a difference when you're spending your days there, and everyone from nurses to aides seem to form good bonds with residents. They offer fun activities, movie nights, organized social events, arts and crafts, and religious or cultural programs, so there's usually something going on, and for those who like the outdoors, the gardens and walking paths are kept tidy, and there's a spot for a bit of planting if you like that sort of thing. The on-site salon means you don't have to venture out for a haircut or a bit of grooming, and laundry plus dry cleaning, housekeeping, and even mail service keep life running smoothly, and if you want to bring your pet, pets are allowed. Meals are restaurant-style, and if someone wants Kosher food, or a private dining room for family, that's available too, and there's always staff on hand to coordinate moving in or finding the right fit, but right now they're not accepting new patients. The place has about 70 beds for skilled nursing and rehabilitation, rooms with cable TV, phone, and Wi-Fi, and even with all this, the building stays pretty clean and welcoming, and you'll find both private and group areas for quiet time or socializing. Folks seem to appreciate having an environment that helps with independence while still giving needed support, and if a caregiver needs a break, the respite care programs step in for short stays.
