Kingston Health Care Center

Kingston Health Care Center sits along the western bank of the Susquehanna River in a rural spot and offers care in a home-like setting with 65 beds, where privacy and personal choices are respected and you get both private or semiprivate rooms with private bathrooms, furnished and ready to go, and you get cable TV, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, so you can be comfortable and keep in touch with family and friends, and you'll see staff physicians available around the clock, master's level clinicians for mental health, and social service workers who offer counseling and guidance for residents. There's skilled nursing, long-term care, respite care, hospice care, and senior rehabilitation services, and the place has the ability to treat people with dementia and behavioral health needs as well, and there's help with all kinds of daily activities like bathing and getting dressed or moving for those who use a wheelchair or need more support. You'll find a community dining room serving restaurant-style meals, and the staff prepares food that considers allergies and special diets like diabetes, making sure everyone has good nutrition, and there are also life enrichment activities every day, such as arts, games, a fitness center, and movie nights, and programs that residents run themselves for extra engagement and social time. Residents enjoy outdoor walking paths, gardens, a spa/wellness room, an arts room, library, game room, movie theater, and community events, and things like an emergency alert system, housekeeping, move-in help, laundry, scheduled transportation, and parking are all offered for convenience. There are clinics for audiology, dental, podiatry, psychiatry, orthopedics, surgery, urology, and eyes right on-site, plus therapies like physical, speech, and occupational, and the team helps manage pain, post-surgical care, wound care, stroke and cardiac recovery, and offers IV and pulmonary services too. Pre-registration is available for those who want to plan their rehab or post-acute care in advance, and therapy teams sit down with patients before admission to answer questions, which helps residents feel more prepared. The environment remains small and close-knit, making it easier to build meaningful connections, and the staff focus on helping each person reach their best physical and mental state. Housing protections for gender identity and orientation exist as required by federal law, and Medicaid and Medicare are both accepted for payment, which makes care more accessible, and being near Northeast Eye Specialist and Cooks Pharmacy helps you get health care and medication close by if you need it. Tours are available so families and future residents can see the facility, meet staff and get a sense of the community, and everyone's free to join in holidays and resident-led programs that help bring a sense of home to the center.
