Wausa Care and Rehabilitation sits at 703 S Vivian St in Wausa, NE, and people around here know it for offering different types of help for seniors and adults needing ongoing or short-term care, which helps those who need long-term support due to conditions like stroke, sports injuries, spinal cord injuries, or those needing rehab after an illness or injury. This place works closely with primary care doctors, specialists, and the rest of the healthcare team, so residents get care that considers their health, needs, and abilities, and nurses take vital signs, check blood pressure, and look at general health to understand what support folks need most. Wausa Care and Rehabilitation has a supportive team for people with trouble moving or thinking, and it's designed to handle things like muscle, bone, and nerve issues, as well as memory and chronic pain conditions, and they have skilled nursing staff and certified nursing assistants available round the clock for help with dressing, bathing, moving around, and managing medicines, and there's always someone on call.
They provide a mix of care types, including independent living, 55+ living, assisted living, Alzheimer's and memory care, low-income affordable housing, respite care, home care, and continuing care for those who need more long-term help, and there's also a way to get adult day care services, where folks can spend the day enjoying meals, health checks, and activities before heading back home at night. People who move in get assessments to figure out what help they need, and the nurses and therapists check in often, so care plans can change as things change, and the therapists-who all work together-offer physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapy both for residents and through an outpatient therapy program for folks who already went home but need more help.
The setting feels home-like, always clean and comfortable, and the staff put effort into making seniors feel at ease, which means their individual needs matter and residents get personal attention, and because Wausa Care and Rehabilitation is certified by Medicare and Medicaid, people with those plans can use their benefits for care. The facility supports social and emotional well-being as much as physical care, with things like storytelling, live music, arts and crafts, sudoku, field trips, a mental wellness program, and group activities in the dining room, arts room, library, courtyard, or out on walking paths and in the garden. Residents can enjoy restaurant-style meals, with special diets offered for people who need them, like for diabetes or allergies, and help with meal preparation and laundry is also available.
Studio apartments have refrigerators and cupboards, and there are both private and semi-private rooms, all with cable TV, phones, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes, plus furnished rooms ready to move into. Safety is a priority, so there's a 24-hour emergency alert and call system, non-ambulatory support, and round-the-clock supervision. Other services offered include housekeeping, snow removal, transportation, move-in help, and wellness monitoring, and the business office helps residents and their families with financial options. People can use the on-site barbershop and salon, especially if getting out is difficult, and pets are allowed, but no smoking is allowed indoors. The community's got a 42-bed capacity, and their care extends to hospice when needed.
There's always some activity going on, like movie nights, crosswords, or organized resident-run groups, and folks value having a clean place, healthy meals, comfortable surroundings, and the respectful support of caregivers who know what it means to help. Wausa Care and Rehabilitation belongs to the Golden LivingCenters network and shows its focus on helping people regain what independence they can, keep up good health, or have comfort and safety for the long run.
