Short-Stay Rehab, Long-Term & Respite Care

The “Mac” McGuire and the MacRitchie skilled nursing units offer 38 total skilled nursing beds and are dedicated to providing the highest quality of care for short-term rehabilitation residents to ensure the best possible outcome along with long-term care.

We believe that quality of life is the single most important component of a person’s stay at our facility. Our services are offered in a warm, caring atmosphere, promoting maximum independence for your return home. If, for any reason, residents are unable to return home, staff will provide the necessary assistance in finding that special placement.

Our “Five Star” rated units provide a wide range of services to include: 24/7 Physician/PA/NP, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, IV therapy, and wound care. In addition, we are able to offer the services of a licensed dietitian, as well as activities and beauty/barber services.

Respite Care

When caregivers experience burnout, the quality and durability of their care suffer. Our skilled nursing facility offers short-term respite care stays to give caregivers a chance to rest. When your loved one is safe and cared for, you can have peace of mind while you’re spending time with other friends and family or enjoying a vacation. At Hillsdale Hospital’s 38-bed hospital-based facility, we offer a temporary second home for your loved ones in respite care.

Respite care services include:

  • Delivery of medication
  • Meals and snacks
  • Assistance with bathing and dressing
  • Social interaction with staff and other residents
  • Scheduled activities
  • Laundry services
