Dresher Hill Health & Rehabilitation Center in Fort Washington delivers nursing-home care supported by 24-hour licensed nursing staff and on-site physicians for both short-term rehabilitation and long-term residency. Skilled services include medication administration, wound management, IV therapy, post-operative recovery programs, and coordinated therapy from physical, occupational, and speech clinicians. Families looking for temporary relief can use the center’s respite care program, which supplies the same clinical oversight and rehabilitation resources available to full-time residents.
Medical support is supplemented by routine physician rounds, pharmacy coordination, and access to on-site lab and radiology services arranged as needed. Care planning meetings involve nurses, therapists, social workers, and dietitians to track progress and adjust goals. Discharge planning begins early for residents expected to return home, and social services staff handle insurance authorizations and connections to community resources.
Accommodations consist of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with basic hospital-grade beds, bedside storage, and adjustable lighting. Some rooms include in-suite showers, individual climate controls, and direct telephone and cable hookups, but not all accommodations have every feature. An emergency call system links each bed and bathroom to the nursing station, and housekeeping maintains rooms on a scheduled basis.
Dining services prepare three daily meals plus snacks under the supervision of a registered dietitian. Menus accommodate therapeutic diets such as cardiac, diabetic, and pureed options, and residents may request alternate entrées at each meal. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, with tray delivery to the room when medically necessary.
