Rehab and Skilled Nursing

Rehabilitation programs are available through our therapy department

Skilled Nursing

Professional care is provided under the direction of a licensed physician, nurses, and other caring and dedicated healthcare professionals. Rehabilitation programs, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, are available through our therapy department. These services help residents reach their maximum physical potential. Ancillary Medical service such as podiatry and geriatric psychiatry are also available. Services provided by the Social Work department, pastoral care, and activity department assure that the social, spiritual and recreational needs of each resident are met. John Knox Manor II is pet friendly with bird aviaries throughout the facility and bird feeders outside each resident’s window.

Harbor Memory Care Unit

Our mission is to provide a small intimate dementia unit that is safe, secure, and supportive--hugs and laughter included. The Harbor offers care with a program-of-care and activities designed for those living with dementia or memory-loss disorders while preserving dignity. Activities are based on each person's interest and life experiences, taking into consideration the shorter attention spans of the individual. Our promise is to remain compassionate, kind, and understanding to each individual's needs. Our staff undergo specialized dementia training throughout the year to stay abreast of current trends.



Rehab

At John Knox Manor, our on-site rehabilitation staff is committed to helping patients follow a fast but sensible path to their full physical potential. Our innovative and diversified programs are aimed at helping our patients achieve the maximum rehabilitation and independence possible.

While we serve residents during long-term illness, many of our residents are experiencing short-term incapacities and, quite often, can return to independent living after participating in our physical, speech, and occupational therapy programs.


The Physical Therapy (PT) Service evaluates therapy needs such as strengthening, range of motion exercises, balance activities, gait training, assessment for assistive devices, and pain management techniques for a variety of diagnoses.

The Occupational Therapy (OT) Service evaluates and provides training in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as feeding, dressing, and bathing for individuals with physical, or developmental disabilities.

The Speech Therapy (ST) Service evaluates therapy needs regarding post stroke speech therapy, swallowing difficulties, eating difficulties and a variety of techniques to improve nutrition in residents with health problems.

Bringing in Food for Residents

For your resident’s protection, food brought in to the resident must conform to his or her prescribed diet and must not be more than can be consumed in a 24 hour period. We encourage nutritious snacks such as fruit and crackers. All items must be in containers that seal securely.

Leave of Absence

For residents on Medicare, with the physician’s permission, a leave of absence may be granted from the facility. A leave of absence must be signed by the resident or responsible party and they must be signed back in upon return. The request should be cleared through the nursing team. Long term residents are free to take a leave of absence as well. This leave should be cleared through social services.


Retaining the Room

If your resident is transferred to the hospital temporarily, you will be asked if you would like to hold the bed. If the bed is held, at full rate, the room will be secured for the resident until he/she returns. If the bed is not held, you will want to pick up your resident’s belongings as soon as possible.


Beauty and Barber Services

Our Beautician comes to the facility on Mondays and Tuesdays. Please contact social services to be added to the beauty shop and barber services list.

Televisions

Activity Calendar 

A daily schedule of activities is posted on the bulletin board on each wing and in each resident’s room. All residents are encouraged to participate if they desire.
