Austinburg Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center sits in Austinburg, Ohio, and has about 163 beds, so the place can feel busy, but the staff works hard to help everyone feel comfortable, whether you need just a little help or require full nursing care. The staff includes nurses, aides, nutritionists, housekeeping, and support workers, all trained to cover everything from medication management and meal planning to helping folks get around safely and keeping rooms tidy. Residents can live in apartment-style rooms that include telephones for easy communication, with wide, wheelchair-accessible hallways for safer mobility, and the layout lets folks move about with plenty of space. There's a secured unit with a special in-house activity department to support residents with dementia or Alzheimer's, plus a dementia waiver program, so people with memory issues get extra supervision, monitoring, and daily engagement. For light support, there's independent living and assisted living care, so residents get personal help with bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, and daily tasks, all while still enjoying some independence. Skilled nursing is on-site around the clock for more complex needs, including wound care, injections, tracheotomy care, postsurgical care, pain management, and hospice support when needed.
The place welcomes pets-though there are certain rules and restrictions-and has gardening spots and places to relax both inside and out, with happy hours, game nights, resident-run activities, fitness classes, clubs, shopping outings, live entertainment, and even a book club, so no two days have to look alike. Meals come in dining rooms that look and feel a bit like restaurants, and menus are diverse, planned by dieticians to fit special dietary needs, so residents can eat three daily meals suited to their health. Housekeeping, laundry, help with medications, and transportation services for outings or appointments all help take care of the basics. There's a library, walking paths, a barber and salon for haircuts, and spaces to celebrate birthdays with friends and family, plus daily community-sponsored programs and a supervised, secured environment to help keep everyone engaged and safe. The community keeps a focus on comfort and security, matching the touches that make any place feel like home.
Short-term rehabilitation and outpatient rehabilitation are both available, offering therapies like hydrotherapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, all aimed at building strength, movement, and daily function for those recovering from hospital stays or surgeries, while long-term skilled nursing can be a more permanent option when independent living is no longer possible. Restorative programs and respite care can give caregivers and families a needed break, whether it's for five days or as long as five weeks, and these stays can be covered by Medicaid or private pay. Medicare and Medicaid are both accepted for eligible care needs, and there's monitoring and 24-hour call systems throughout the building to make sure someone can respond quickly if a resident needs urgent help, with all care guided by an all-hands, all-hearts approach that values respect, kindness, and dignity.
Austinburg Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center has average staffing ratings but gets better marks for overall quality, health inspections, and quality measures, which means they do a good job with the essentials. The community is licensed, gets regular safety and health inspections, and must maintain a certain caregiver-to-resident ratio. Staff help people stay independent for as long as they can, offering mobility assistance, incontinence care, and personalized care plans tailored to each resident's needs. The aim at Austinburg is to help seniors live well, feel supported, and keep a sense of community, so there's always friendly faces, shared meals, activities, and professional care whenever needed.
