Samaritan Keep Home, also called Samaritan Keep Nursing Home, Inc., sits connected to the Samaritan Medical Center campus in Watertown, NY, and offers long-term care with 272 beds for seniors who need skilled nursing services. The place has safety features like a sprinkler system, safety rails, and handicap accessible spaces, and has both laundry and housekeeping help included. Residents get cable TV, internet access, guest parking, and rooms with kitchens or kitchenettes. Folks can use a game and activity room, fitness center, salon and barbershop, and a gift shop, and anyone can visit at any time, as there's no set visiting hour, which lets residents welcome family or friends whenever they feel like it.
Personal care assistants, nurses, and therapy staff give all kinds of support, including bathing, dressing, grooming, walking help, wound care, and medication help, and there's both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing services. The place runs two Memory Care Units for residents with memory issues, offering careful support to those who need dementia care, and those same units focus on keeping residents comfortable and well. There's occupational therapy, restorative sub-acute rehab programs, and services to help people recover from illness or injury, sometimes getting them well enough to go home. Meals are served daily, and residents can join in social and wellness programs along with arts, crafts, and outings in the community.
Brandon Johnson, LNHA, serves as the administrator, with RaeAnne LaFave as manager of finance. There's also help with things like laboratory tests, podiatry, social services, education programs, pastoral care, and special transportation. The staff provides support for medication, wound care, physician services, and more, and makes sure folks have options for long-term care insurance and access to several social care programs. The building itself was made for comfort and safety, and the focus stays on compassionate, steady care for the elderly and residents with higher needs. The facility supports daily living with the right kind of help, whether it's simple everyday tasks or specialized medical and rehab care.
