Blossom Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits on Blossom Lane in Salem, Ohio, and is a skilled nursing facility that provides many levels of care, including skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, long-term care, and respite care for short stays, with specialized programs designed for residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, and there are different therapy options like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus independent and assisted living available as well, so they really try to cover quite a few bases when it comes to elder care. The building has 100 certified beds, with only six currently available as of June 2025, and while it usually accepts Medicare and Medicaid, right now it isn't taking new patients, but the staff speaks English and includes nurses, therapists, doctors, and support teams that handle in-house pharmacy, lab work, podiatry, and wound care services, which makes it simpler to get medical treatments without extra trips out of the center.
Blossom Nursing & Rehabilitation Center runs 24 hours every day, keeps an emergency alert system and a 24-hour call system for safety, and the staff supervises to help prevent accidents or hazards and manages infection-control protocols, but the nurse hours per resident each day sit below the state average, with 3.29 hours compared to 3.7, so that's something to think about, and while the nurse turnover rate is 28.4%, which is lower than the state average of 51%, inspections haven't happened on the usual schedule, with the last one over two years ago, and earlier reports noted 28 deficiencies, including two related to infection and some about accident safeguards and how they handled residents' money, though the center now has policies for these issues and a resident and family council to help with engagement and advocacy.
The facility aims to keep a warm, home-like feeling, offering furnished rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, and they've got quite a few amenities, like a community room, garden, movie theater, fitness room, spa, walking paths, arts and music programs, scheduled activities, a dedicated room for games, and both community and resident-run events, plus daily housekeeping, meal prep, and special diets if needed, so residents can find ways to stay comfortable and involved, while the staff helps with bathing, dressing, medication management, transfers, and daily care.
Residents who like to get involved will find both outdoor programs and indoor activities, with movie nights, an arts room, and music programs to keep busy, and for outings or appointments, transportation can be arranged, so there's support beyond what's inside the building. Blossom Nursing & Rehabilitation Center also has a focus on accurate provider information, regular updates to their service details, and has procedures in place if anything isn't right with their records.
Tours can be set up so people can visit, see the space, meet staff and residents, and get a real sense of life there. The facility belongs to Atrium Centers, and while it tries to keep up with comfort and care, like any place it's worth looking into the inspection history and talking to current residents or families when considering it for care needs.
