Washington Nursing Center

Washington Nursing Center sits along E National Hwy and serves as a county government-owned nursing home with an average of 32 residents per day, and folks can expect both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing care here, so if someone needs help after leaving the hospital but isn't quite ready to go home, or if they need more support day to day because they're more frail or dependent, the staff handles both situations, and they work with residents and their families to talk about important things like medications, mood or memory, staying active, and what really matters most to them, and all those discussions are part of something called the 4Ms-What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility-because the team here tries to pay attention to health in a thorough way. People can get rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as respite stays if someone just needs short-term help, and for those needing more comfort-focused support, palliative care is available, and memory care is also part of what they provide. The place is recognized as Age-Friendly by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, so they do look at the special needs of older folks. The center offers more options for senior living, including assisted living, Alzheimer's care, home healthcare, and its Continuing Care Retirement Community designation means there are different levels of support under one roof. The community encourages visitors-family, friends, even pets can stop by anytime-and staff want people to make their rooms feel like home. The setting is tranquil with a clean and warm atmosphere, so residents get a blend of medical care, personalized attention from a skilled team, and a focus on wellness and independence, though some people have said in reviews that it averages about 3.3 out of 5 based on a few opinions, but many folks seem to feel supported and cared for. Washington Nursing Center tries to keep things simple, supportive, and with care plans tailored to each person's needs.
