Westwood Healthcare and Rehabilitation

Westwood Healthcare and Rehabilitation sits on Stockyard Road in Statesboro, Georgia, and offers services like rehabilitation, skilled nursing, and memory care for older adults who need extra help, and they've got a mix of long-term and short-term care options, including respite and post-operative care, so people get the attention they need during recovery or when they just can't quite manage alone, and their team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who provide round-the-clock care, though it's worth noting the nurse turnover rate runs higher than the state average and daily staffing hours come in a bit under the state average, with 3.35 nursing hours per resident per day. This privately owned, for-profit facility, led by Zalmen Oberlander and Ari Silberstein since late 2019, holds 60 certified beds with an average census of about 56 residents, and the management team tries to keep things personal by tailoring support to each resident and focusing on quality care, offering therapies like physical, occupational, and speech thanks to a full-service rehabilitation team ready to address pain, recovery after surgery, wound care, cardiac rehab, stroke rehab, and orthopedic needs, plus there's memory care for folks needing a little more day-to-day help. The staff, made up of nurses, aides, and caregivers, works to create a supportive, home-like setting that's warm and welcoming, and you'll find a few simple amenities like Wi-Fi and cable TV in the rooms, along with a program called Pathways to Active Living (PALs) that helps residents keep up with social, mental, physical, and spiritual activities, aiming to support overall wellness and give structure to the days. While the facility takes pride in recognitions for quality care, inspection reports show 15 total deficiencies, including five related to infection, like problems with infection prevention and control, vaccination programs, and COVID-19 documentation, and the most recent survey took place more than two years ago, though facilities like this get inspected every nine to fifteen months. Besides regular healthcare and rehabilitation, residents and their families will find companionship, personal care, a concierge service through bedside button assistance, and open admissions every day of the week, with a focus on maintaining comfort and individual attention, and the whole place runs under a privacy policy and terms of use with a staff-only portal in place. Westwood Healthcare and Rehabilitation isn't perfect and has areas it needs to improve, especially around infection control standards and staff turnover, but for those looking for a place with skilled nursing, therapy services, and different care levels in a relatively comfortable setting, this might be an option to consider.
