River's Bend Health & Rehab Center in Harrisburg operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering around-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need long-term support or short-term rehabilitation. Licensed nurses manage wound care, IV therapy, medication administration, and post-surgical monitoring. The center also accepts respite stays, giving family caregivers a temporary break while ensuring their loved one receives full medical supervision. On-site physical therapists develop individualized rehabilitation plans designed to restore mobility and strength after illness or injury, coordinating closely with attending physicians to track measurable progress.

In addition to direct medical treatment, the staff arranges care conferences, handles care-plan updates, and schedules specialist visits as ordered. An interdisciplinary team—including social services, dietitians, and therapy staff—reviews each resident’s status to adjust goals and interventions. Routine assessments help identify changes in condition early, and the facility’s electronic health records system allows for timely communication with external providers. Transportation for medically necessary appointments is coordinated as required, and families receive regular updates on outcomes.

Resident rooms are designed for functionality and safety, with maintenance and basic housekeeping provided. Some rooms offer views of landscaped grounds, while select units provide direct access to secure outdoor areas where residents can sit or take short walks. Because layouts differ, not every accommodation includes all these features, so families are encouraged to confirm specific room details before move-in.

Daily meals are prepared on site, and the culinary staff can serve low-sodium, vegetarian, kosher-style, or gluten-free dishes as ordered by the resident’s care team. A registered dietitian reviews menus to make sure nutritional goals align with each resident’s health plan. Meal service follows a set schedule, and staff are available to assist residents who need help with eating or portion control. Snacks are stocked for those on modified or increased-calorie regimens.

Residents can take part in organized clubs and community groups, structured health and wellness programs, and scheduled arts and crafts sessions. An activity center hosts group events, while a library and computer lounge provide space for reading, internet access, and quiet recreation. These options are intended to support social connection and cognitive engagement alongside the facility’s medical care.
