Aultman Transitional Care Center

Aultman Transitional Care Center sits about 3 miles outside Perry Heights, Ohio, right on the Aultman Woodlawn hospital campus, where you'll find a place designed for people who don't need full skilled nursing care around the clock, but can't live at home alone safely either, and folks here get what you might call an intermediate level of help, including assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, all while having access to a 24-hour call system if any needs pop up suddenly. Staff here provide about 3.14 hours of care per resident, including high levels of nursing support, with registered nurses spending a little over two hours per resident each day, and though the center's had some minor to moderate issues with administration and pharmacy services, it stays on top of quality checks like vaccination rates and pressure sore prevention and isn't marked as a special focus facility. The center has 60 certified beds and tends to keep them pretty full, sitting near a 98% occupancy rate, and it's non-profit, takes Medicare and Medicaid, and stands out with a 5-star CMS rating and averages about a 7.1 out of 10 in community scores locally. People find a whole mix of services, from skilled nursing, nursing home care, short-term rehab, and outpatient rehab to home hospice and palliative care through The Compassionate Care Center, which focuses on easing pain and stress near the end of life and offers family counseling, respite care, and emotional support, with round-the-clock phone help for both residents and their families. Rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phones, and the building is safely equipped with a sprinkler system. The care team includes RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, and people can move between care levels if their needs change since it's part of a broader Continuing Care Retirement Community setup, though this center itself isn't a full CCRC community. You'll see extra touches for quality of life, like an activity room, game room, movie theater, arts and music programs, an arts room, walking paths, a garden, fitness options, a business room, community-sponsored activities, scheduled daily events, a library, and both outdoor and indoor common areas. Residents eat meals prepared by a chef, with all-day restaurant-style dining, dietary accommodations like diabetes or allergy-sensitive menus, and meal service three times a day plus snacks. There are services like transportation, move-in help, laundry and housekeeping, pharmacy access, and an on-site spa and wellness space. Families get support, and programs encourage staying active and engaged. The center hosts a range of medical rehab and specialty services-including back and spine, heart, cancer, and neurosurgery care-that are available through the larger Aultman health system, though here care focuses mostly on helping people recover, stay safe, and get the daily help they need without a hospital stay.
