Overview of Alaris Health at Hamilton Park

France Cortez administers the mid-rise facility, which currently has 168 of its 260 beds occupied and an average stay of 76 days.

What makes the clinical profile here worth attention is its range. Short-term post-hospital rehab, orthopedic care, cardiac care, stroke recovery, and wound care are all present alongside services that few comparable facilities carry: on-site dialysis, hi-flow ventilator services, hospice and palliative care, dementia services, and subacute rehab. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are on-site. Total nursing coverage is 4 hours and 5 minutes per resident per day; registered nurses account for 43 minutes.

At 76 days average length of stay, this is primarily a short-to-medium-stay facility, but the presence of hospice services, ventilator care, and dialysis on-site means it also accommodates residents with complex, ongoing clinical needs that go well beyond standard post-acute recovery.
