Altercare Bucyrus is a senior living community with more than 100 beds that provides skilled nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care for older adults, and people often say the staff take time to support each person's needs with individual care plans, so folks can get things done in their own way, which is important, and the licensed staff give physical, occupational, and speech therapy for people recovering from illness, stroke, or injury, and they've got palliative care, hospice, subacute medical care, respite care, and specialized Alzheimer's and dementia care on Speret Hall in a secure setting, which helps folks stay safe and comfortable if they're dealing with memory issues. There's assisted living with private apartments that come in four styles, each with a bathroom, where residents have individual heat and air controls, flat screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and restaurant-style dining with meals like grilled chicken breast, cheeseburgers, pizza, and desserts, and they try to let residents bring their own furniture and belongings so it feels a bit more like home. People can enjoy walking trails, courtyards, porches, a library, TV rooms, and a cozy hair and beauty shop for pedicures and haircuts, and there's a private dining room for family visits, weekly Bible studies, a center chaplain, and a chapel for folks who want spiritual support, which a lot of families appreciate, and they do offer day care, too. The activity calendar's pretty full-they've got Wii-bowling tournaments, concerts, holiday events, outings to restaurants, games, fitness classes, and special events to keep both the body and mind active, especially for people in Memory Care, where staff keep things safe and engaging. Altercare Bucyrus is licensed by the state health department and certified for Medicare Part A and Part B, and they accept private-pay, managed care, private insurance, Medicaid, and workers compensation, which can make things easier for families figuring out finances. It's clear the team here tries to make residents comfortable, happy, and cared for, with lots of attention on dignity, safety, and helping people feel connected.

Beautiful facility but inconsistent care
I had a mixed but overall positive experience: the facility is beautiful and spacious with great therapy, attentive nurses and aides, caring leadership (Dr. Becky Strickland, DON Elizabeth), friendly staff, good meals and frequent activities. That said, care can be inconsistent-I've seen dirty rooms and soiled clothing, slow or neglectful responses at times (including a hypoglycemia incident), old furniture and high prices-so I'd recommend with caution.
