Wood Dale Health Care Center

Wood Dale Health Care Center, also called Hamilton Long Term Care, sits at 1102 Burleyson Rd. in Dalton, GA, and is known as a nursing home with 82 licensed beds, focusing on people who need both short and long-term care, especially those with physical, mental health, or complex medical needs such as wound, renal, or neurological conditions, so you'll see they've got skilled nursing services with 24-hour care by CNAs, LPNs, and RNs, plus a team of physical therapists offering therapy seven days a week for everything from recovery after surgery to orthopedic, neurological, geriatric, and even pediatric rehabilitation, and they've got hospice and transition care, too. Residents here get three meals every day in a dining room that'll accommodate many diets, and there's a gourmet snack cart going around, while all-day dining lets folks' preferences fit in, and special attention is given to allergy or diabetes needs. There are private and shared rooms, all with individual climate control, and residents can decorate rooms with their own belongings, which makes things homier, and daily housekeeping keeps everything clean. Amenities aren't fancy but they are practical: Wi-Fi and utilities are included, rooms have emergency alert systems, and there are common areas with TVs, outdoor courtyards, landscaped walking paths, activity rooms, a library, game room, fitness and wellness spaces, and a mix of group activities-from arts and crafts to movie nights and music. You'll see staff help with transfers, medication, non-ambulatory care, bathing, dressing, and there's a 24-hour call system for safety. For care planning, each resident gets a personalized plan, and the center gives advice to help seniors and families, with discharge planning and social services as well. Staff levels and quality ratings follow what's on Medicare Nursing Home Compare as of late 2024, since Wood Dale is certified for Medicare and Medicaid, taking part in CMS quality programs and reporting on care minutes per resident each day. The place doesn't have BBB accreditation, but it's managed by Mr. George Carrazana, and the ownership's a non-profit corporation, though who's officially in charge lately hasn't been clearly shared. They're part of Wood Dale Health and Rehabilitation, and there's always a need for caring staff, since caregiver and nursing job spots are open for CNAs, LPNs/LVNs, RNs, and other experienced hands. Overall, Wood Dale Health Care Center tends to have a welcoming atmosphere, modern facilities, and puts a lot of focus on daily routine, physical therapy, and community feeling, so it's not especially fancy or perfect but gets the basics right for many people who need attentive nursing and reliable care.
