The facility provides both short-term and long-term nursing services. For people who have been dismissed from the hospital, but who need further care before returning home, Hampshire Care provides post-hospital treatment: physical thereapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, hospice services, respite services, specialized dietary treatments, skilled nursing services, case management, and case management for help in planning to return home.
Hampshire Care also provides long-term nursing services for those with disabilities that prevent them from returning home after hospitalization or from remaining in their home due to their illness.
Hampshire Care also boasts an exemplary staff which is unique in being of exceptionally long employment, on average. As an example, the average length of employment of the licensed nurses is well over 10 years. Some nurses have been caring for patients here for twenty, even thirty years. Employees receive competitive salaries and outstanding benefits. Included within these benefits are excellent health insurance, government pensions, and generous holiday, vacation, and sick time benefits. For some, the most important benefit is going home at the end of the day knowing they have been part of a place that puts patient care first. Hampshire Care is currently recruiting RNs, LPNs, and CNAs. Not only does Hampshire Care offer competitive wages and excellent benefits, its high staffing ratios allow the nursing staff to perform the high quality patient care that gives professional satisfaction.
Hampshire Care is in excellent financial condition with a modest surplus, no debt and no outstanding accounts payable. The Hampshire Council of Governments' elected Councilors provide oversight on behalf of the public. The Hampshire Council of Governments, formerly Hampshire County, has owned and operated the facility since 1914. Currently plans are being made to upgrade the infrastructure (water, sewer, roads) as a prelude to improving the facility.
