Sanctuary of the Ohio Valley

Sanctuary of the Ohio Valley sits on South 5th Street in Ironton and has served its community for over 15 years, always trying to keep things comfortable, friendly, and respectful for its residents. This is a non-profit retirement home with both skilled nursing and intermediate care for people who need regular help, covering everything from personal care to long-term nursing and also short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay. People can choose between private and semi-private rooms, staying for the long haul or coming in for just a short break with respite care, and everyone gets an individualized plan based on what they need, written up by experienced medical staff and therapists. This place has registered nurses, LPNs, and CNAs working around the clock, plus therapy teams for physical, occupational, and speech therapy-some folks just need help after a stroke, injury, or when they're trying to get more mobile again, while others need extra support as they age. Sanctuary of the Ohio Valley provides plenty of basics, like medication management, nutritious meals, help with bathing, palliative care for people with long-term serious illness, and even homemaking and activity planning. There's a good amount of programs meant to help residents stay social and active, and the building itself is air-conditioned, accessible for wheelchairs, and has parking and nice outdoor landscaping. Family and resident councils allow people and their families to get involved in community matters, sharing what's working or what could be better. The facility's inspection results show an A+ for keeping things up to standard, with overall care quality scores often at A or A-minus across the board, though its most recent overall grade was a B-minus, which is still considered good. After so many years, Sanctuary of the Ohio Valley has built a solid reputation for offering reliable help to older adults, with attentive and compassionate care squarely focused on both physical and emotional well-being, all supported by a steady staff, on-site physicians, and a Medical Director. The community's goal is always to keep things safe, secure, and as home-like as possible for seniors with all kinds of needs.
