Hearthstone Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits at 2901 E Barnett Rd in Medford and runs 87 beds, and they've made a name for offering skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and long-term residential support for folks needing different levels of help, whether for a short time after the hospital or for a longer stay. Managed by Purple Door, LLC and connected with Avalon Health Care, Hearthstone A Skilled Nursing runs as a non-profit and keeps a focus on recovery, well-being, and quality of life. Nurses, doctors, and counselors, including a Senior Living Counselor, help residents with personal care plans, and staff keep up with all sorts of needs-from chronic conditions and dementia to memory care and specialized services like wound care, IV therapy, enteral nutrition, and diabetes management. There's hospice and palliative care for comfort and support during serious illness, and the team provides all the basics like medication and nutrition oversight, transportation to appointments, housekeeping, laundry, and on-site providers and pharmacy and lab services so residents don't have to go far for care.
The therapy team works on speech therapy to help folks with swallowing, feeding, and communication, physical therapy to get moving, prevent falls, or manage pain, and occupational therapy to support daily living and cognitive or emotional needs. Hearthstone also offers restorative care for those needing extra attention after surgery or illness and even has respite care if families need a break. The environment feels homely, with renovated spaces and outdoor areas so people can relax, participate in engaging activities, or just enjoy some quiet time. Security and supervision run 24/7, which matters for people who need constant care or memory support. Residents and families access care insights, information, and daily schedules through StoriiCare's family portal, with features like activity planning, multilingual support, virtual programs, reminiscence tools, and automatic translation of care notes to keep everyone in the loop, and that also means there are digital forms, team scheduling tools, and reporting options for staff and families. Everything gets managed for efficiency and compliance, using AI tools and data, and they work to keep the community safe, warm, and welcoming. Hearthstone supports recovery, independence, and connection with programs and staff who're trained to help, and the community keeps focused on compassionate care and supporting both residents and staff throughout every day.
