Ashland Health Services has been a longstanding contributor to the well-being of communities along the Lake Superior shoreline, with a history of dedicated service dating back to 1962. Over the years, the facility has established a reputation for providing comprehensive rehabilitation therapy designed to help individuals regain their independence and improve their quality of life. The in-house therapy program encompasses a wide range of services, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of each resident and led by an experienced team. These therapies play a vital role in supporting residents through their recovery process, whether following surgery, injury, illness, or managing complex medical conditions.
A standout feature of Ashland Health Services is the Transitional Living Area, thoughtfully designed to prepare residents for life after rehabilitation. This area simulates a home environment, enabling individuals to practice skills and routines that will promote their confidence and safety as they transition back to their own homes. The Transitional Living Area reflects the facility’s commitment to holistic, resident-centered care that considers not only physical rehabilitation but also emotional and social readiness for a successful return to independent living.
The staff at Ashland Health Services are notable for their dedication and longevity, with many team members having provided compassionate care for more than 25 years. This exceptional retention of skilled professionals fosters strong relationships between caregivers and residents, creating an atmosphere of trust and warmth throughout the facility. The supportive environment is also extended to families, ensuring that everyone involved in the care experience feels respected and valued.
As part of its commitment to career development in the healthcare field, Ashland Health Services participates in the WisCaregiver Careers program. This initiative offers nurse aide trainees the opportunity to receive free training and testing to become Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) while they work, making it an ideal starting point for individuals who wish to make a meaningful difference every day. The facility encourages team growth and provides a welcoming space for both novice and experienced caregivers.
Ashland Health Services values open communication and resident feedback through its Caring Connections program. This initiative provides residents, their loved ones, and staff members an easy way to share their experiences, whether to express concerns or to offer kudos for exemplary care. Caring Connections serves as a conduit for continual improvement, ensuring that the resident experience remains at the heart of everything provided at Ashland Health Services.
