Fox Chase Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Silver Spring, Maryland, operates as a skilled nursing facility. Around-the-clock licensed nursing coverage supports residents who require short-term post-hospital rehabilitation or long-term clinical oversight. Physicians visit regularly to monitor chronic conditions, adjust medications, and coordinate with specialists. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work onsite seven days a week, helping residents regain mobility, strength, and communication abilities after surgery, illness, or injury. Respiratory therapy, pain management, and complex wound care are also available, allowing many individuals to receive hospital-level services without leaving the premises.

Beyond direct medical treatment, the center offers structured care planning that includes social-services support, discharge coordination, and family education. A registered dietitian reviews each resident’s health status and dietary orders, while licensed pharmacists oversee medication accuracy. Residents with cognitive decline benefit from safety protocols and structured daily routines designed to reduce confusion. Laboratory work, radiology, and dialysis transportation are arranged as needed, so most health needs can be addressed without multiple outside appointments.

Private and semiprivate rooms are designed for practicality and comfort. Many rooms include individual climate control, cable television, in-room telephones, and wireless internet, though specific features vary by unit. Some accommodations offer courtyard views or direct access to outdoor areas where residents can visit with approved pets. Computer stations are available for residents who do not have personal devices, and guest rooms may be reserved when space permits. A small gift and convenience shop stocks personal items and snacks for those who prefer to stay on campus.

Meals are prepared under the guidance of the dietitian, emphasizing physician-ordered diets and resident preferences. The café’s always-available menu lets residents select lighter fare or alternate entrées outside scheduled mealtimes, which can help accommodate fluctuating appetites after therapy sessions. Staff assist with adaptive utensils and modified textures when needed, and meals can be delivered to a resident’s room during periods of rest or illness.

For recreation and enrichment, Fox Chase maintains a library and computer lounge where residents can read, browse the internet, or video chat with family. The activity center hosts exercise classes, arts programs, and resident council meetings, all supervised by the life-enrichment team. These amenities aim to keep residents mentally engaged and socially connected while complementing their rehabilitation plans.
