Our Lady Of Peace Nursing Care Residence

Our Lady Of Peace Nursing Care Residence sits on the campus of Mount St. Mary's Hospital and provides a range of care for seniors, including short-term rehab, long-term skilled nursing, and specialized memory care for those with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and there's also a 210-bed skilled nursing facility along with a separate 40-bed sub-acute rehab unit for folks needing extra attention after surgeries or illnesses. The building always smells clean, which can be rare for nursing homes, and it's designed to feel homelike, with large private or semi-private rooms that have bedside windows and temperature controls, and there are common spaces like sitting rooms with fireplaces and entertainment centers, plus outside courtyards, gardens, and pleasant dining rooms so residents have comfortable places to visit or spend time. They focus on privacy and dignity, offering personalized care plans for every resident and making sure people have a choice about their services, so there's a special care unit for those with dementia, a Steps to Life Rehabilitation Unit for therapy and recovery, and a dedicated memory support program that builds each plan around what makes the person unique, looking after people's emotional, social, physical, and sensory needs. Nurses and trained staff are available around the clock, so skilled nursing, wound care, rehab therapies like physical, speech, and occupational therapy happen every day except Sunday, and rehab spaces have modern equipment to help people regain abilities, and long-term care is there for folks who need help with ongoing medical problems or disabilities. The facility is handicap accessible, accepts most insurances including Medicaid and Medicare, and offers both short-term rehab and longer stays, and there are comforts like a barber shop, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and housekeeping, along with life enrichment activities to keep residents busy and connected. A peaceful chapel welcomes everyone for quiet reflection or faith programs, with interdenominational services and a spiritual care team committed to helping all faiths celebrate their beliefs. Staff responses are prompt, and the calm, friendly environment supports people's healing, drawing on Catholic traditions and Ascension Living Mission to serve mind, body, and spirit, and the whole place keeps strong infection control and pandemic plans in place, with an infection preventionist, regular staff communication, emergency response plans, and safeguards to keep everyone as safe as possible during outbreaks. Medicare.gov rates this facility with five stars, and families say the prompt nursing care, clean surroundings, and respectful staff stand out most.
