Aria Nursing & Rehabilitation sits over in Lansing, Michigan, and you'll find it serving the community along with the tri-county area of Ingham, Clinton, and Eaton, so folks from around there might know it. The building's been through recent extensive renovations, which means the rooms, like both private and semi-private ones for residents, come with modern touches, wall-mounted TVs, telephones, and there's even private guest rooms in certain areas. Some people like to unwind in the garden or landscaped courtyard, and if anyone's got appointments offsite, the wheelchair accessible bus helps with that. People who need day-to-day help get attention from a staff that includes a Licensed Administrator, Director of Nursing, Physician Medical Director, Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, Certified Nursing Assistants, Rehabilitation Coordinator, and therapists for physical, occupational, and speech treatments, along with a Wound Care Team, Director of Admissions and Marketing, Licensed Social Worker, Registered Dietitian, and even dental, vision, and podiatry services on hand. Inside, there's a dining room in the rehab unit, a state-of-the-art rehab gym, a beauty and barber shop, cable and satellite hookups, and private dining too for those who want it. Aria's got 90 beds for skilled nursing and subacute rehabilitation, and residents get their own personalized care plans that change as their needs change.
The care ranges from short-term nursing and rehabilitation stays after surgery, to long-term nursing care, and there's a dedicated memory care unit for those dealing with memory loss, as well as a bariatric program for folks with special weight needs. They also do palliative care, hospice, and respite care for families needing a break or extra support, plus post-surgical programs, outpatient therapy, and dialysis transportation if someone has kidney needs. The staff offers a mix of therapies like physical, occupational, and speech, but also restorative care and person-centered programs, always aiming to fit each person's unique health and comfort requirements. There's a recreational director planning activities to keep people engaged, and a Dietary Manager who works with clinical outpatient dietitians on food plans. Many appreciate that Aria partners with local hospitals in Ingham County, and the facility keeps skilled help available 24/7, every day of the week. As part of the Preferred Care family of centers, and being privately held since 2016, Aria's made itself known in the community for steady, dependable care, always trying to stick to their promise of treating people like people, whatever their needs might be.
