The Geriatric Authority of Milford is a non-profit, municipal, skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility. Located in Milford, Mass., the organization provides two levels of service to the community. The skilled nursing level of care is offered to patients and residents that have acute care needs that require medical management from nursing and rehabilitation services. These individuals may have the potential of returning to the community or to a more independent living environment. The long-term level of care is offered to residents who cannot safely return home and are dependent upon others for care. The institution offers a range of rehabilitation services, such as neurorehabilitation for head injury, stroke and dementia; behavioral issues associated with epilepsy, stroke and multiple sclerosis; and aphasia. It also offers physical, occupational and speech therapies and provides dietary care.
