Continental Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Blanchester, Ohio, gives seniors different types of care like skilled nursing, rehabilitation, memory care, and palliative care, and they do offer both short-term and long-term stays, so folks can come for just a few days or settle in if they need to, which is sometimes a relief for families, and they'll even handle respite and hospice respite stays coordinated with area hospice groups when needed. You'll find wound care management here, physical, occupational, and speech therapy in private therapy suites, and therapy programs built for people going from hospital to home, though the place has had eight deficiencies in recent inspection reports, including some on accident hazards, coordination of assessments, infection, and notice of Medicaid and Medicare coverage, so people looking might want to keep that in mind.
There are 59 certified beds, with about 47 residents staying on average per day, and they offer both private and semi-private rooms, all with their own bathrooms, and the private rooms are about 288 square feet and have large windows for good light, and staff keeps things tidy with laundry services. There's comfortable living spaces everywhere, plus a social living room, communal areas for meeting others, and a dining room where residents get three meals a day and snacks, and a registered dietitian watches over the menu, keeping things balanced and nutritious for everyone. Amenities include on-site X-ray and lab services, an in-house pharmacy, intravenous therapy, enteral feeding services, and a full-service beauty salon and barber shop run by licensed beauticians, and there's even an individual emergency call system for safety. Sometimes there's pet therapy and Brain Quest games, along with events like themed parties, Jackpot, Mardi Gras Party, and outings on their 12-passenger bus, plus religious services if that matters, and personal care plans help make sure each resident gets what they need.
The grounds have an outdoor garden with a gazebo, so when the weather's good, residents can relax outside, and there are monthly activity calendars packed with games, parties, and trips to places in the community, like nearby hospitals, drug stores, dining spots, and markets. People can find both short bouts of care for rehab or long-term situations for those who need skilled nursing around the clock, and the whole idea is to keep a supportive community going, though nurse turnover rate runs high at 65.5% and nurse hours per resident come out to 3.52 per day. Continental Manor does offer dementia care services, including for people with Alzheimer's disease, and always works to provide holistic care-looking after both mental and physical well-being-using individualized care plans, engaging daily activities, and a calm, home-like setting with several comforts.
The place runs as a for-profit corporation, so decisions might be shaped by business reasons, and there's limited info about how staff are managed. They do have a profile on Medicare's website, so families can look up more detailed inspection results and compare with other homes if wanted. There aren't any reviews submitted yet, but folks interested can always visit, see the rooms, and check the activity board to get a sense of what day-to-day life is like in this senior care community.
