Longwood Health and Rehabilitation Center sits right on Lake Fairy and has a courtyard that faces the water, so residents can enjoy outdoor views and calm spaces, and the surroundings feel peaceful with landscaped grounds where you can sit outside or walk around, and when you come inside you'll see the rooms are either studios or one-bedroom units, private or semi-private, and they all have their own bathrooms, satellite TV, and an emergency call system, which really helps with comfort and safety. The building's been renovated, so things look fresh, and there's a warm feeling because the rooms and lounges are furnished to look and feel homelike and welcoming. More than 66 residents get care from over 110 caregivers, and that means there's always someone around to help if you need something day or night, and nurses are on duty 24 hours, with a director of nursing in charge of clinical care, plus an administrator oversees operations.
Longwood offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care, and they help people with bathing, dressing, eating, and other daily needs, also providing wound care, post-operative rehab, and therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, including a special memory care service for residents with memory problems. There's a robust rehabilitation program for folks who need help getting back on their feet, and they also provide outpatient treatment, plus a subacute unit with staff trained for special cases, so there's support for a range of medical situations. The center meets federal requirements for Medicaid and Medicare, has Joint Commission accreditation, can store and give out medicines, and provides meal services and amenities like internet, cable TV, housekeeping, and laundry, keeping things simple and comfortable for everyone.
There's a busy social calendar, which means a lot of entertainment and activities are offered on site and within the community, and residents can usually find something they want to do, whether it's group activities or just enjoying leisure time in the lounge, and with meal services, there's always food available without too much fuss. The facility takes infection control seriously, so there are specific rules about facial coverings, with education on when and why to use masks, and people can opt out if they understand the risks, but visitors must wear masks when visiting certain residents, and protocols are in place for anyone showing signs of infection in common areas.
Daily life is supported by a whole-team approach led by staff like the director of business development for facility growth, and each resident gets a care plan centered on their needs, covering physical, emotional, spiritual, and social health. The staff focuses on care that's compassionate and committed, with an aim to make each resident's life meaningful and supportive, in a calm and relaxing place where everyone can feel at home and focus on getting better or just enjoying their time.
