Ledgewood Rehabilitation & Skilled Nursing Center in Beverly, MA is licensed as a nursing-home and concentrates on clinically focused care. Residents have access to on-site physical therapy aimed at maintaining or improving mobility, balance, and strength after injury, illness, or surgery. Short-term respite stays are also available, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring the individual receives the same level of professional attention as long-term residents.
Medical oversight is reinforced by an emergency call system that links each resident directly to staff at any hour. Registered and licensed practical nurses monitor health status, coordinate with physicians, and manage medications, while certified nursing assistants handle day-to-day personal care tasks. The facility’s goal is to keep residents medically stable, reduce hospital readmissions, and respond promptly to any change in condition.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, and some include direct access to outdoor areas or nearby lounges. A library and computer area gives residents a place to read, email family, or browse the web using the facility’s Wi-Fi. Regular housekeeping and linen service are provided, although the exact mix of features—such as patio access or in-room Wi-Fi signal strength—can vary by accommodation.
Meals are prepared by dietary staff who accommodate medical and personal preferences. Menus can include low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, and kosher-style options. Staff dietitians coordinate with nursing to adjust textures or nutrients for residents with swallowing disorders, diabetes, or other conditions. Three set meals are served daily, with snacks available as needed.
Residents can take part in organized clubs, group arts and crafts sessions, and health and wellness programs that may include chair exercise or walking groups. An activity center hosts games, movies, and social events aimed at cognitive stimulation and social engagement, complementing the facility’s core medical services.
