Glen Meadows Health Care Center in Hamilton, OH, takes care of older adults who need help day and night, and folks will often notice the staff act with compassion and really try to meet each resident's needs, and while there isn't much information about specific amenities, they do provide skilled nursing, long-term care, memory care, and both short-term and long-term stays. The center belongs to Foundations Health Solutions, is known as a for-profit nursing home, and usually has about 77 residents a day, out of about 85 beds, sometimes a bit more. Nurses and staff help with bathing, dressing, and meals, and residents have 24-hour nursing care with registered nurses always on site, while therapists give physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week for people who need help with walking or talking or daily movement, and families can find respite care if they need a break from caregiving at home.
People who move to Glen Meadows can use the therapy gym and get whirlpool therapy, or take part in recreation programs and group activities, and those who need hospice care will find comfort and dignity in the last stage of life. Residents in need of help with behavioral problems or memory loss can stay on the behavioral rehabilitation or dementia units, while every week staff offer wound care, psychiatric services, case management, and discharge planning, so folks have support for different health needs. Some people enjoy socializing in communal spaces, sitting in the dining room together, or letting the beautician freshen up their look, while others like the outdoor activities and relaxing with friends or family.
Glen Meadows has reported a lower nurse turnover rate than the Ohio average, which can help with stability, and nurses spend more time per resident than at many other places in the state, but reports show about 20 total deficiencies from inspections, including some related to infection control, quality of care and life, and resident rights, where there wasn't any actual harm found but there was a risk for more serious problems, and these are important to think about. Even so, the community has been recognized in senior living award categories, and is part of what people in the area might call a senior living community, where older folks receive nursing support, therapies, personal care, and a chance to join group activities or just spend some quiet days with fellow residents.
There's more information if you look up their website, but from what's known, Glen Meadows Health Care Center focuses on providing care, respect, and a sense of belonging to residents and families who choose this nursing home.
