Overview of Waldron Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Waldron Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is dually certified, so the same bed bills Medicare or Medicaid without anyone needing to move rooms. Private pay works here too. Major Hospital operates the center, and Nicole Clapp serves as administrator.

Cardiac rehabilitation is one of three named therapy programs, besides orthopedic rehabilitation and stroke recovery. After a heart event, activity has to be pushed forward on a schedule somebody watches, not attempted alone in the living room at home.

Memory care exists partly for the spouse who has stopped leaving the house; dementia can take over another person’s whole day, and supervision here shifts that responsibility onto qualified staff.

A licensed nurse works the floor even when the building goes dark. That is the stretch a family living thirty miles away cannot cover by phone. Respite sometimes has nothing to do with the caregiver; a pipe could burst, or a bathroom needs work for several weeks, and that means the house can’t hold anybody. Hospice care is available to residents nearing the end of life.

Nursing time totals 3 hours per resident each day across 71 beds. A courtyard and a patio give residents somewhere outdoors to sit in good weather.
