Overview of Jaffrey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Four care types are named at Jaffrey Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Jaffrey, NH: respite care, hospice care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. Most residents are on the short-term track; in for a few weeks or months before going home again. Skilled nursing carries the clinical side for people whose needs run past that. Hospice changes what a family is doing, from arranging treatment to being in the room.

Short stays buy a caregiver relief, sometimes because winter and distance have made the daily check-in impossible. Rehabilitation is on the list for someone rebuilding after a long admission with no surgery in it, when the legs stopped working the way they used to. Staffing covers every hour, days and nights both.

The center has 83 beds. Nursing time amounts to 2 hours and 42 minutes a day for each resident. Payment runs through Medicaid, Medicare, or private funds, which matters most where savings stop covering the bill, and Medicaid becomes the question. On site, the administrator is Jessica A. Dragon.
