Health Center

In the Health Center at the Hermitage, each room has a large window, closet, half-bath, and a nurse call system. Residents may bring mementos, as well as their television and telephone.

Open Communication

The care in our Health Center is administered by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants. The Medical Director monitors the residents and orders any changes that may need to be made to their care. The Resident Review Committee meets regularly to discuss care plans and communicate with family members.

Health Center residents have access to on-site speech, occupational and physical therapy and podiatry. Regular group and one-on-one activities are scheduled by our activities department.

Memory Assistance

We have found our residents benefit when maintained in the overall community life. Therefore, you will find no special unit for Alzheimer/dementia residents at the Hermitage on the Eastern Shore. Our excellent staff-to-resident ratio and the back-up of the WanderGuard System help to ensure the safety and well-being of all our residents, especially those with dementia.
