Mission: The purpose of the seabrook is to provide facilities to meet the special needs of the elderly through suitable housing, by offering social and recreational services and by the maintenance of a skilled nursing facility
Programs: Fraser health care is a medicare certified 33 bed all private room skilled nursing facility within the seabrook. It provides private pay services to resident members of the seabrook at reduced per diem rates of 265/members and 295 to the general public. The daily rate for members is the 7th lowest out of the 50 states compared to the median cost of a private room. This helps extend seniors resources and keeps residents from accessing medicaid. The per diem rates are lower than the daily cost of operation and are subsidized by the seabrook. Hospice respite care is available to the community. A state licensed home health program provides free services such as blood pressure and vital sign checks, professional nurse home visits and processing of insurance forms for long term health insurance. Other services are available below the comparable rates in the community such as medication management, private duty aides, lab work, dressing changes and injections. As part of our not for profit mission the seabrook supports skilled nursing patients who through no fault of their own have exhausted their funds as long as the support does not adversely impact the financial operation of the seabrook.
