Birch Healthcare Center

Birch Healthcare Center is a rehabilitation and skilled nursing facility located in Rochester, New Hampshire. The center provides post-acute care for patients recovering from injuries and illnesses, with an experienced medical staff including attending physicians and registered nurses who administer treatment across various conditions.

The facility offers a range of therapeutic and medical services, including physical and occupational therapy supported by high-tech equipment, as well as specialized programs such as palliative and hospice care for terminally ill patients, respite care for family caregivers, and nutritional support including TPN for patients unable to eat by mouth. A team of physiologists and social workers addresses residents' emotional and psychological well-being during recovery.

Comprehensive personal care services complement the rehabilitation focus. On-site dental, vision, and podiatry care are available, and the facility employs dietitians and nutritionists who create individualized meal plans for each resident. Upon discharge, staff work collaboratively to develop personalized discharge plans that outline follow-up care instructions to ensure a safe transition home.

The community is designed as a welcoming environment where residents receive care from a compassionate staff. When residents are ready to transition to additional care levels, the facility is equipped to provide continuity; those entering hospice care can remain at the facility rather than relocating.
