Bear Hill Rehabilitation and Nursing Center provides skilled nursing, nursing home care, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care in Stoneham, MA. Skilled nursing and nursing care provide licensed nursing support for residents who need ongoing clinical attention, while hospice and palliative care focus on comfort and symptom management. Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs temporary relief, and short-term rehabilitation supports recovery after an illness, injury, or hospital stay.
The center has 169 beds, so residents live in a larger setting with more residents, staff, and usually more programming than they would find in a smaller community. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 38 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted, giving families several ways to cover eligible care.
Rehabilitation services include subacute, orthopedic, cardiac, pulmonary, and stroke recovery programs, with therapy directed toward these specific recovery needs. Scenic courtyards and a gazebo provide outdoor spaces. An on-site beauty and barber shop lets residents manage personal grooming without leaving the center.
Private and semi-private suites offer different room arrangements, while the chapel gives residents the option to attend religious services on site. The pet-friendly environment allows residents to keep pets with them. Bear Hill Rehabilitation and Nursing Center may be a good fit for someone who needs skilled nursing or rehabilitation, or for a family seeking a temporary respite stay.
