Southwood Healthcare Center sits over on 2222 E Margaret Dr, right in Terre Haute, and while folks call it a nursing home, it really does more, because the staff offers assisted living, memory care, short-term and long-term skilled nursing, and rehabilitation, so there's always something going on whether you're there for recovery or longer-term care. Licensed and inspected, the staff keeps records up to date and gives out clear information on all the different care options, so people know what's available. They do initial consultations and assessments before anyone moves in, and for families wanting a closer look, there's both in-person and virtual tours, whatever suits people best these days. The memory care folks get special attention, with individualized care plans for dementia or Alzheimer's, and separate programs and activities that fit their needs, which you don't always see in every place.
The center's rooms offer simple comforts, with kitchens or kitchenettes, washers and dryers, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, so it's easy to feel at home. The property itself is designed for safety and ease, including handicap accessibility, a sprinkler system, and security features. There's a dining room, a fitness center, a game and activity room, and a salon and barbershop, plus guest parking for when family or friends visit, and residents find plenty to do since they've scheduled things like arts and crafts, bingo, movie nights, cooking seminars, seasonal parties, and even visits from therapy dogs or the annual fall festival. Health and wellness programs run alongside social events, so people can stay busy or just relax, and anyone needing help with personal care, like bathing, dressing, or using the restroom, finds staff ready to help out.
For those needing more medical support, Southwood provides wound care, podiatry, medication assistance, therapy services-physical, occupational, and speech-along with nursing and hospice or palliative care, and they help folks recover from illness or surgery with specialized short-term rehabilitation. The place is part of the CommuniCare family, which means there are certain service lines like Customer Experience and Physician Alignment, and programs called Honor 360 and Advance 360, which are all aimed at keeping care standards up and families involved. Meals are included, and meal support is part of the package, so no one goes hungry or without the care they need at the table. The cleaning, laundry, and maintenance services keep living spaces in good shape and transportation gets people where they need to go, whether it's the doctor or a local event.
Long-term residents get a bit of everything-medical, emotional, and social support-plus the place takes long-term care insurance, making things a bit easier for planning. The staff uses a person-centered approach, always trying to build relationships with residents and families, and every program aims to help people heal or simply live with more dignity and independence, even when care needs change over time. That's what you find at Southwood Healthcare Center-steady care and plenty of daily life, right in Terre Haute.
