Heartwood Extended Healthcare is dedicated to providing comprehensive care in a peaceful and supportive environment, whether residents require short-term rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing. Central to the philosophy at Heartwood is a commitment to patient-centered care, where the unique preferences and needs of each resident shape their daily experience. The environment is designed to be as comfortable and home-like as possible, fostering a sense of belonging and well-being while offering precisely the level of medical and personal attention needed at every stage of recovery or ongoing care.
A specialized focus at Heartwood Extended Healthcare is rehabilitation therapy, with programs tailored to restore strength, mobility, and independence to individuals recovering from illness, injury, or surgery. The physical therapy team works with residents to improve balance, strength, and overall mobility, with the goal of reducing pain and minimizing the risk of falls. Occupational therapy is also provided to help residents regain essential skills for daily living, such as dressing, grooming, and meal preparation, often using adaptive tools and techniques for maximized independence. For those who need it, speech and language therapy supports the restoration of communication skills, cognitive functioning, and safe swallowing, helping residents regain confidence and enhance their quality of life.
Memory support at Heartwood Extended Healthcare is designed for residents with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia-related conditions. The care team offers a structured and nurturing environment, focusing on stability, personalized support, and engaging, enriching activities that enhance well-being and promote independence for each resident. Recognizing the complexities faced by families navigating memory loss, the staff guides and supports both residents and their loved ones, offering resources, education, and compassionate expertise to ensure residents thrive despite cognitive challenges.
For families who need temporary care solutions, Heartwood provides a Respite Stay program that offers short-term stays in a safe, welcoming setting, with skilled nursing care available around the clock. This service is ideal not only for post-hospital recovery and trial stays before making a long-term move but also for family caregivers who need time to rest and recharge, confident that their loved one is receiving high-quality care from dedicated professionals.
In addition to core services, Heartwood Extended Healthcare offers an array of supplementary care options to address specific medical or personal needs. These include wound care, IV therapy, pain management, catheter care, an enteral feeding program, access to off-site dialysis, post-hospital extended care, and assistance with dental, vision, and audiology appointments. The goal is to be proactive and thorough in supporting residents’ comprehensive health, while also providing connections to additional community resources if a particular need falls beyond the scope of services offered at the facility.
At the heart of the Heartwood Extended Healthcare experience is a dedicated staff committed to compassion, excellence, and fostering meaningful relationships with residents and their families. The team’s focus extends beyond addressing medical needs, emphasizing comfort, dignity, and engagement in a setting designed to empower each resident to live their fullest life. With a range of therapy services, memory care, respite options, and supplementary programs, Heartwood Extended Healthcare stands as a welcoming community for individuals and families seeking exceptional, individualized care.
