Chatham Glen Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center operates as a skilled nursing facility that accepts residents who need short-term post-acute rehabilitation or long-term custodial care. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, and the center provides regular access to physicians, nurse practitioners, and rehabilitation therapists. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available several days a week, and care plans are adjusted as residents progress. The staff also manages wound care, IV therapy, tracheostomy care, and other higher-acuity medical services that many assisted-living communities cannot provide.
Beyond the core clinical services, the center offers comprehensive medication management, pharmacy coordination, and regular lab and radiology visits arranged on site. A secure electronic health record system allows attending physicians to monitor changes in real time, and families receive periodic updates on their loved one’s status. Social services staff help residents and families navigate discharge planning, insurance questions, and transitions to lower levels of care when appropriate. Scheduled transportation to outside specialist appointments is available, and the facility maintains written emergency preparedness procedures that are reviewed with staff at least annually.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms equipped with hospital-grade beds, over-bed tables, and accessible bathrooms. Each room features individual climate controls and an in-room call system that links directly to the nurses’ station, while housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a routine schedule. Cable television and basic Wi-Fi are available, although not all rooms have both features, so families may want to confirm specifics before move-in. Furniture may be personalized within safety guidelines, and the maintenance team addresses routine repairs.
Dining services are managed by a certified dietary manager and a consulting registered dietitian who reviews menus for nutritional balance and therapeutic diet compliance. Residents receive three meals daily, with entrée choices offered at each sitting and snacks available between meals. Texture-modified diets, diabetic menus, and other physician-ordered meal plans are prepared in the same kitchen to streamline service. Some rooms qualify for tray service during illness or therapy conflicts, but this option is not provided to every resident every day, so availability should be verified with staff.
