Overview of Edgewood Rehab and Healthcare Center

Memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing are what Edgewood Rehab and Healthcare Center runs in Portsmouth, NH. Memory care means a locked-in level of supervision, which matters for the resident who gets dressed one evening for a job he retired from decades ago. The skilled side handles the clinical load. Two needs get answered here; those are nursing support or a watched setting for dementia.

There are 156 beds inside. Short-term rehabilitation handles a temporary recovery stay. Some of those exist because antibiotics have to run through a line for six weeks, which is nursing work rather than family work. Residential nursing carries the person whose need for help is permanent.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay each cover care, subject to eligibility and family resources. Nursing time comes out at 3 hours and 26 minutes per resident daily. Patricia Cummings-Robillard is the administrator. A Walk Score of 80 puts most errands inside walking range. What that means is smaller than it sounds and better; going out stops being an event somebody has to arrange, even once a car is no longer an option.
