Gem City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits in Dayton, Ohio, offering both short-term and long-term care in a newly renovated, state-of-the-art building with rooms that feel spacious, whether you prefer private or semi-private, and you'll find comfortable lounges and community rooms throughout the place. Attending physicians and registered nurses work together to make individual treatment plans for each resident, while a warm staff helps with daily needs like bathing, dressing, medication, and moving around. They offer medical care for wound care, colostomy, TPN, X-rays, pain management, and they've got a strong support system for people who need ventilator care, tracheostomy management, and high-flow oxygen, especially those with COPD, CHF, post-COVID-19 issues, or other serious breathing conditions, using advanced equipment like the Trilogy EVO Ventilator and Airvo2 with up to 70 liters per minute oxygen. Rehabilitation is a big part of what they do, with orthopedic rehab, physical, speech, and occupational therapies, all taking place in a newly renovated gym full of high-tech gear, and there's also a focus on helping people get back home with individualized discharge plans.
Residents have a restaurant-style dining room where meals are handled by a chef, and meals can be made to fit special needs like allergies or diabetes. Private bathrooms, cable TV, high-speed internet, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and phones come standard in rooms, and you'll find extras like a spa and wellness room, library, movie theater, and fitness room. Housekeeping, laundry, mail, and newspaper are handled on-site, and security systems help keep folks with memory problems safe, while memory programs work to help people with dementia. The staff can help with dental, vision, and podiatry needs, and dietitians create custom meal plans when needed, while psychologists and social workers help support mental health and recovery.
People at Gem City can join scheduled daily activities, movie nights, community events, music programs, and arts, and there's even a walking path and outdoor garden spaces for everyone to enjoy some time outside. Respite care lets family caregivers take a break when needed, and palliative and hospice care are there for those managing pain and symptoms of serious illness, led by Dr. Richard Sternberg and medical directors with experience in pulmonary, critical care, hospice, and palliative medicine, focusing on COPD, asthma, allergies, and ARDS. Staff can speak English and other languages, and they offer support to families during move-in and discharge. The building has a secure environment for cognitive care, and they handle mail, pharmacy deliveries, and coordination with outside providers. They accept Medicare and Medicaid, the facility is privately owned for profit, and does not belong to a larger continuing care community. At this time, Gem City Nursing and Rehabilitation Center isn't taking new patients, but information and services stay up to date, with options for sharing or printing profiles, and location mapping for visiting.
