We know there’s no place like home, but sometimes help at home might not be available. At The Abington we provide individualized care for each patient depending on their clinical need, previous baseline and discharge plan. Each resident will have a care plan coordinated by an interdisciplinary team which includes members from nursing, rehabilitation, dietary, and social services, which is regularly reviewed and changed. Our dedicated team of healthcare specialists are on duty 24 hours a day, providing comprehensive care to our patients from minimal assistance to advanced medical services.
