Green Oaks Nursing and Rehabilitation

Long-term care is intended for people who can no longer live independently. It includes help with personal tasks such as eating, bathing, dressing, using the restroom and walking, as well as medical care and medication assistance.

The skilled nursing services listed for both long-term residents and short-term patients include seven-day RN coverage, on-site physician visits, dietitian and specialty physician consultations, cardiac rehabilitation, palliative care, wound care including wound vacs, pain management, IV therapy, and physical, occupational, speech and respiratory therapy.

Short-term rehabilitation is a transition between hospital and home. Depending on a person's condition, it may last a few days, weeks or months and may include physical, occupational, respiratory or speech therapy.

At an initial therapy meeting, registered therapists assess functional status. A physical therapy assessment may include strength, range of motion, balance and gait; occupational therapy considers daily activities. The therapist discusses personal goals and develops an individual care plan.

Care conferences take place throughout a stay to discuss progress and recovery goals, and family participation is welcomed. The team is available around the clock by phone or email for questions.

Meals follow the diet prescribed by the physician, and a registered dietitian supervises food preparation. Residents can share their food preferences during the initial assessment.

An activity director plans a varied calendar each month, with activities intended to support daily engagement and movement and reflect residents' preferences.

For rehabilitation, Green Oaks has a dedicated gym where guests can work one-on-one with a therapist.
