Egle Nursing and Rehab Center sits in Lonaconing, MD, and helps adults who need daily care and skilled nursing in a small, friendly setting with room for 66 residents, which has grown over time from a much smaller place, and it offers both private and semi-private rooms, including studios made for people with walkers or wheelchairs, so folks with different needs can all find a space that fits. Staff are always around to help with things like bathing, dressing, moving around, and taking medicine, and there's a call system in each room in case someone needs help at any hour, with certified nursing staff there as much as 16 hours a day and 24-hour overall supervision to keep everyone safe and comfortable, and the care covers everything from managing wounds and pain to help with diabetes and special diets, which a Certified Dietary Manager and professional chef oversee to make sure food matches what each person needs, including all-day dining in a restaurant-style setting and meals for allergies or diabetes.
The center focuses a lot on rehab, so people can get physical, occupational, and speech therapy on site, and there's a special rehabilitation unit for folks recovering from illness, surgery, or injury, as well as memory care programs for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and a restorative nursing program, plus palliative care if needed. There are also on-site podiatry, dental, eye care, lab, and X-ray services, which means people often don't have to travel far for appointments, and transportation with lift-chairs and help is there for any outside needs or for getting to places like nearby hospitals, parks, pharmacies, and worship spots such as Noah's Ark. All residents get activities and programs every day, from fitness and community-sponsored events to arts, games, day trips, movies, and resident-led activities, while inside and out, the place has areas for walking, gardens, an arts room, a library, a computer center, TV, a movie theater, a gaming room, a fitness room, and spa treatments, along with a beauty salon and regular laundry and housekeeping, including dry cleaning.
The whole center tries to keep a steady, homey feel, with a lot of personal attention thanks to its smaller size and an environment designed around the people living there, and care plans get tailored for each person's needs by a team of experienced healthcare workers, who handle everything from skilled nursing and rehab to dietary support and social activities. Egle Nursing and Rehab Center accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, self-pay, and private insurances, and gives move-in help to make the transition easier, while high-speed internet and cable TV come standard in each room. The community forms part of a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community, so different types and levels of care, including nursing and residential services, can be found here. The approach here centers on supporting residents in a safe, well-kept space, with help for both medical needs and day-to-day life, and a steady focus on kindness and personal attention every day.
