Resident Services
Social Services
Our social workers will work with the resident and family before admission to complete a social history. Individual and family consultations as well as group services are used to help residents feel comfortable and secure. The admission coordinator/social services director, family and resident get together to discuss goals and plans. They closely monitor the resident’s progress towards independence. Many residents leave the facility to return to independent or modified lifestyles. Upon discharge, they can provide helpful advice such as care techniques, diet, medications and offers appropriate referrals to home health or community services.
Dining
Meal times are meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. Our dining room is designed to promote socialization among residents while creating an unparalleled first class dining experience. All meals are prepared by our trained chefs under the direction of a registered dietitian. We also offer a private family dining room for special occasions, which can be reserved by contacting our administrative offices.
Activity Programs
Regular active participation in our activity programs can be both stimulating and gratifying for our residents and families. Each day residents are offered a diverse calendar of events tailored to their individual needs. While they are free to participate in as little or as much as they like, active involvement is encouraged. Family and friends are also encouraged to participate as well. Continental Nursing and Rehabilitation Center offers structured programs that provide a home like atmosphere where residents are treated with sensitivity, dignity and respect. We cater to our residents through physical and mental stimulation.
