Saint Francis Rehabilitation And Nursing Center in Laconia provides licensed nursing-home care designed for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residence. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to deliver wound care, medication administration, and ongoing health monitoring. The in-house rehabilitation team offers physical therapy aimed at restoring mobility, improving balance, and reducing pain, with treatment plans developed in coordination with attending physicians.

Beyond direct medical treatment, the center supplies ancillary care features that support residents’ overall health. Care plans are reviewed regularly, and interdisciplinary teams adjust services as conditions change. Assistance with daily activities such as bathing and grooming is available, and staff coordinate specialist appointments, diagnostic testing, and pharmacy services. An emergency call system links residents to clinical staff at any hour, and family members receive routine updates on progress and care transitions.

Residences include a mix of private and companion rooms that come furnished and equipped with safety features such as grab bars and nurse-call alerts. Some rooms include cable TV, and many have direct access or proximity to the facility’s outdoor areas for fresh air and supervised walking; not every room contains all of these features, so prospective residents should verify availability during a tour. Housekeeping and laundry are provided on a set schedule, with maintenance staff on site for prompt repairs.

Three meals are prepared daily in the facility kitchen under the guidance of a registered dietitian who adjusts menus for therapeutic diets including low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-modified options. Meals are served in a communal dining room where staff are present to assist residents who need help with eating. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals, and physicians can order supplemental nutrition when clinically indicated.

Residents can spend free time in the activity center, which hosts group exercises, games, and seasonal events, or in the library and computer lounge that offers books, newspapers, and internet access for email and video calls. Scheduled transportation, personal mail services, and daily activity calendars are coordinated by the life-enrichment team to encourage social interaction and cognitive engagement.
