Royal Megansett Nursing & Rehabilitation

Royal Megansett Nursing & Rehabilitation sits by the water with an elegant, hotel-like feel, and when folks come here, they find 90 certified beds and usually about 61 residents every day, so it isn't too crowded and people tend to know each other, and the place gives a mix of care for those who need short-term rehab after a hospital stay and for folks who need long-term nursing care because they're more frail or dependent. The building's got 28 private rooms and some third-floor apartments set aside for assisted living, plus there's a grand great room for everyone to gather, a library, arts and activity spaces, and walking paths outside where you can see the water and walk on the manicured lawns. Residents get their own rooms with cable TV, kitchenette, private bathroom, high-speed internet, and telephone, and the staff takes care of most of the chores like housekeeping, laundry, and even helps with move-in, while families can get support if needed. Royal Megansett provides daily activities like movie nights, music, a fitness room, game room, and even a garden where people can spend time outdoors, so there's always something going on, and residents can join both community-sponsored and resident-led programs or use the spa and sauna if they want. The place accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, and it's one of the facilities owned fully by James Mamary and part of the Royal Health Group, and it runs as a for-profit business but still manages to have a nurse turnover rate that's lower than the state average, plus nurse staffing hours are a bit better too, with nurses available 12-16 hours a day and a 24-hour call system. Care here covers medication management, help with bathing, dressing, transfers, meals, and special rehab for things like stroke, wound care, or even cardiac and pulmonary needs, and there's access to a "Phone Doctor" for telemedicine. Royal Megansett carries a five-star clinical rating and has Joint Commission accreditation, though inspection reports show the place's had some issues over time, such as 21 deficiencies overall-including pharmacy and nutrition standards, plus two related to infection control-but the staff seems to focus on keeping residents' rights and dignity top of mind, and the pharmacy follows federal guidelines. Meals are customized and the kitchen looks out for nutrition, so folks get what they need, and there's family support during tough times, like hospice care, too. The building feels as comfortable as home with things like concierge service and fast Wi-Fi, but it's not perfect, and people might hear about those past deficiencies, but most days you'll find a busy but steady place that works hard to deliver care and activity for seniors and those recovering after a hospital stay.
