ST. FRANCIS REHABILITATION AND NURSING CENTER

St. Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center is located in the beautiful Lakes Region of New Hampshire. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the center mirrors the care of the staff and their commitment to the residents they serve. The rooms and common areas of this 51-bed center are all on one level allowing for convenient access to common dining, activity, and outdoor areas. A strong sense of community is evident through the level of family involvement in center activities. Situated on a hill overlooking Lake Winnisquam, residents enjoy spectacular views the year round.

Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Services
We provide rehabilitation therapy and nursing care for patients after hospitalization. Such "post acute" care is often needed after today's shorter hospital stays and may be appropriate following:

  • General or cardiac surgery
  • Joint replacement and orthopedic surgery
  • Traumatic and brain injuries
  • Strokes

We also provide complex nursing care for:

  • Pain management
  • Specialized skin and wound care
  • Nutritional support and diabetes management

Hospice Care
Hospice or "palliative" care is available if curative or restorative care is no longer appropriate and desired for terminally ill individuals. Hospice care focuses on providing comfort and pain relief as well as pastoral support and counseling for patients and family.

Alzheimer's & Dementia Care
People with Alzheimer's or similar type of memory impairment usually benefit from a structured routine and supportive social environment separate from other long-term care residents.

Short-Term Respite Care
We provide short-term respite care when an at-home caregiver is temporarily unavailable or in need of extended personal time away.

Long-Term Care
Individuals with chronic illness or late-stage Alzheimer's disease are cared for with the goal that they attain their highest functional ability. Individualized care programs provide restorative and rehabilitation services as appropriate to achieve that goal.

Other Professional Services available include:

  • Pastoral and religious services
  • Discharge planning consultation and coordination of home care service
  • Mental health services are provided by psychiatrists, psychologists and psychiatric nurse consultants
  • Licensed dental, podiatry, optometry, and audiology consultants
  • Beauty and barber services on site
  • Assistance with Medicaid applications
