The place focuses on skilled nursing care, rehabilitation, memory support, palliative and hospice care, and long-term stays, all backed by a full nursing team who offer about 3.73 hours of care per resident each day, though the nurse turnover rate holds at around 45%, which means new faces do come through the staff often.

Meals come in a dining room with restaurant-style service, with in-room dining available if someone can't make it down. Every room has individual climate control and emergency call systems. Therapy services run up to 3 hours daily for those needing rehab, including physical, occupational, and speech therapies, ambulation and gait training, and personal care skill help, all delivered by licensed therapists and assistants. The facility gives care for different medical situations, with IV therapy, pain management, wound care, respiratory and speech therapy, total parenteral and enteral nutrition, tracheostomy care, and psychological services, and brings in dental, podiatry, and optometry professionals by appointment, with x-ray, pharmacy, and lab services on-site.
Ayden Healthcare of Wauseon aims for patient-centered, individualized attention in a warm, supportive place, with a full-time activity director planning social, cultural, and religious programming, and staff focusing on helping residents regain independence with things like range of motion exercises, bowel and bladder retraining, independent dining, and more.
