Bowdle Nursing Home is uniquely positioned at the heart of its community, striving to provide an environment that truly feels like home for its residents. The facility emphasizes a “homelife experience” where residents are regarded as family and individualized care is the central focus. With 38 semi-private rooms, Bowdle Nursing Home offers a comfortable balance between companionship and privacy, allowing residents to enjoy personal space while also being part of a close-knit, supportive environment.
A distinctive feature of Bowdle Nursing Home is its close connection to both a hospital and a clinic, allowing residents easy access to medical and specialty services without having to leave the premises. A dedicated in-house provider is available around the clock, ensuring continuous and attentive healthcare. Residents receive both skilled and intermediate care in this licensed long-term care center, which participates in Medicaid and Medicare programs to help meet a variety of healthcare needs.
The nursing home actively encourages social engagement and community involvement. Residents and their families are invited to participate in monthly council meetings, helping to shape decisions and contribute feedback. Daily activities are organized for residents, providing a continual source of stimulation, companionship, and entertainment. Mealtimes are a highlight at Bowdle Nursing Home, with menus that celebrate both variety and tradition. Each meal is made from scratch, including a range of choices such as sandwiches, soups, salads, and broader entrees. Resident breakfast is offered from 7 to 9 a.m. and features a selection of hot and cold options, catering to diverse preferences.
A particular emphasis is placed on involving residents in culinary decisions. Each month, a resident counsel convenes to choose the menu for popular events such as facility picnics and the anticipated German meal, which often features traditional favorites like sausage, strudels, kraut, and Barushkas. In the summer, special seasonal menus, as well as picnic meals, bring variety and a festive spirit to the dining experience. Weekly, residents enjoy special treats—kuchen is served on Wednesdays, cinnamon rolls on Thursdays, and caramel rolls on Sundays—adding a touch of delight to the routine.
A Registered Dietician oversees all menu plans and is available for individual consultations to tailor nutritional plans to each resident’s specific clinical needs. Through these combined efforts, Bowdle Nursing Home creates a vibrant, family-centered living community that prioritizes individualized care, comfort, and resident involvement in all aspects of daily life.
