Fox Subacute at Mechanicsburg sits at 120 S Filbert St in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and has served people with serious respiratory needs since 1985, earning a reputation as a leader in caring for post-acute ventilator and respiratory patients, and what's interesting is they were among the first to turn regular nursing homes into advanced subacute care centers where they can handle complex cases like people needing ventilator support, dialysis, TPN, wound management, or progressive ventilator weaning, and they keep a strong partnership with nearby hospitals which lets their licensed team coordinate care easily whether folks need short-term or long-term rehab, including therapy for pulmonary and neurological issues, and you'll find a whole setup here, with physicians, nurses, respiratory specialists, dieticians, social workers, and a range of therapists-physical, occupational, speech, and recreation-to make customized patient plans, and there's round-the-clock respiratory care, with private and semi-private rooms, cozy family meeting spaces, big hallways, community rooms for activities, recreation and sensory programs as well as outings using the facility van, so people can enjoy a warm, peaceful environment, and inside their routine you see regular case conferences, on-site doctor visits, 24-hour nursing, and specialty services like dialysis even for ventilator patients, palliative care if needed, and social services for the patient and their loved ones, plus care for conditions including ALS, COPD, strokes, respiratory failure, brain injuries, neuromuscular diseases, cancer and more, and because they pay attention to both physical needs and quality of life, everyone from the admissions specialists to the case managers work together, focusing on the patient as a whole, using an interdisciplinary team and a model that blends medical rehab, respiratory therapy, nursing care, and even recreation, keeping everything on-site, with advanced oxygen and vacuum systems and a staff known for friendly greetings and committed care, and all of this is detailed further on their website at foxsubacute.com, with directions available for visitors, and the place maintains its state license, always working under strong standards to meet the needs of medically complex people.
Fox Subacute at Mechanicsburg
120 S Filbert St, Mechanicsburg, PA, 17055- Assisted living
- Memory care
- Skilled nursing
Caring staff, systemic problems remain
I found many staff to be knowledgeable, kind and truly caring - nurses, CNAs and therapists who provided excellent, whole-person medical care in a clean, well-equipped facility with clear communication. However, chronic understaffing, inconsistent and sometimes unresponsive nursing, missed/partial therapy, poor record-keeping, billing/management problems and a few safety/neglect incidents (delays, bedsores) are real concerns. Because of that mix, I can't confidently recommend this place for long-term care - you may get outstanding staff, but the systemic issues are serious.
