Den-Mar Health And Rehabilitation Center

Den-Mar Health And Rehabilitation Center sits down in Rockport, Massachusetts, right by the harbor and a golf course, and has a long reputation for giving personal care with attention to detail, and the building stands at 44 South Street, a ground-level campus where all rooms and common areas open to the outdoors, and you'll find the gardens are quite nice for walking or sitting outside, plus there's a community environment aimed at seniors who want support and ongoing care, whether that's short-term rehab after surgery or illness, or a long-term stay. The center has 76 Medicare- and Medicaid-certified beds, and sometimes 22 open beds depending on the month, and it's designed for people 55 or 62 and above, with studio and private rooms that have bathrooms, air conditioning, telephones, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and even kitchenettes in some choices. Residents can count on 24-hour supervision and a 12- to 16-hour nursing presence each day, plus a full alert and call system in case of emergencies, while everyday help with bathing, dressing, moving about, and medicines comes standard, and staff provide these things in English with move-in help offered too. People dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias will find a memory care unit, which does cost more than regular care, and families looking for specialized help with stroke recovery, tracheotomy care, IV medicine, wound treatment, dental problems, or pain control will see these services on the care list, and the building even takes care of diabetes, stoma needs, cardiac therapy, and mental health matters, with rehab going on seven days a week. The food program brings one or two meals each day-restaurant-style, with menus for diabetes or allergies if needed-and residents can join community activities, run their own events, or visit the library, beauty salon, barbershop, and business room, or head outside for walking paths and outdoor spaces when the weather's nice. Den-Mar, once called DenMar Center, runs as a for-profit business and doesn't have a resident or family council, but staff aim for good outcomes, tracking who gets pressure ulcers and keeping those numbers below five percent, and they offer about one hour of hands-on nursing per person each day, which earn them an A+ grade for nursing and a history of good CMS rated care, though the facility currently holds a 2-star rating overall. Housekeeping, laundry, and medication management happen all week, and the wellness room, exercise classes, movie and game rooms, plus special programs for both active and more frail people help make daily life a little brighter. Residents and families can pay through Medicare and Medicaid, and the building operates as a private, individually-owned limited liability company within a Continuing Care Retirement Community, focusing on meeting each senior's health, rehabilitation, and daily living needs, without making things too fancy but sticking to steady care and personal touches.
