Six care types have a place on the list at Cedar Healthcare Center in Portsmouth, NH. They are assisted living, hospice care, nursing home care, palliative care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home care and skilled nursing both mean licensed nursing is present overnight as well as through the working day. Assisted living is the lighter version, offering help with medicine and with bathing and getting dressed.
Hospice is about comfort once the end of life is the situation. Palliative care handles symptoms during a serious illness. Respite books a short stay for the stretch when the usual caregiver has to take time away.
Rehabilitation therapy happens at the center, so recovery work does not start with a drive to somewhere else. Medical care, mental health and recovery services, and total parenteral nutrition for anyone fed intravenously are named as well. Discharge planning is on the list too, sorting out what happens once a stay here ends.
That spread of care suits a family whose person needs anything from daily help to skilled nursing or comfort care, and it suits one looking for a short stay too. The community has 102 beds. Nursing clocks in at 3 hours and 14 minutes per resident each day.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted. Day-to-day charge of the building belongs to Nathaniel A. St. Pierre. At 80, the surrounding blocks’ Walk Score means they’re very walkable.
