Altercare Wadsworth is a licensed nursing home that stays open 24 hours a day, so residents always have help when they need it, and it's one of those places where you'll see experienced medical staff focused on the well-being of everyone who stays there, whether it's for skilled nursing, rehabilitation, dementia care, palliative support, or respite care, and you can find options for independent living, assisted living, memory care, and even in-home care, with each service aiming to help folks keep up their quality of life and stay as active as they can, which is important for people aged 55 and older. The community has a secured Memory Care unit on Speret Hall for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, and the team there has special programs to help reduce confusion and keep everyone safe from wandering, and if someone's looking for activities, they've got plenty-things like activity circles, storytelling, family dinners, and game nights that help keep life interesting. Residents have private rooms with free Wi-Fi, and meals are managed by an on-site chef who prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a focus on good ingredients and taste, so there's no worry about cooking. There's also a broad range of therapy options, including physical, occupational, speech, orthopedic, stroke, and cardiovascular therapy, so recovery and continued health are part of life here, as well as spiritual care if someone needs that type of support. Altercare Wadsworth supports those needing short-term rehab, long-term stays, or just a bit of help at home, and they're known in the community for being friendly and welcoming, with staff who treat residents kindly and help set a positive tone for new people moving in. You can go there to take a tour, see the place, meet the folks, and get a real feel for the environment before making any decisions. The whole place is designed so that seniors feel comfortable and valued in their later years, whether they're looking for social connection, daily support with things like medications or meals, or more focused health care for specific needs.

Compassionate rehab but understaffed, inconsistent
I had a mixed experience. The facility was clean and orderly and many caregivers (Jackie, Bev, Dawn, PTs) were compassionate, upbeat, and excellent with rehab-those staff gave us real comfort. But care was inconsistent and understaffed: long waits for bathroom/bedpan help (15-45 min), poor communication, rude/unresponsive administration, billing-driven refusals of hospital/oncologist requests, hygiene lapses and mishandled belongings that I believe harmed my loved one. I appreciate the caring floor staff, but I would only recommend this place if you or an advocate stay vigilant about medical care.
