Bennington Glen is a 79-bed nursing and rehabilitation center at 825 State Route 61 in Marengo, Ohio, and folks around here know it offers both long-term care and short-term rehab for people who need skilled nursing or help after surgery or illness, while the compassionate staff works day and night so residents feel acknowledged, respected, and supported, which really does make a difference, because whether someone moves in for rehabilitation after a hospital stay or plans to stay longer, every person gets an individualized care plan simply tailored for their needs, and they don't mind going over it so everyone's on the same page. This place has a mix of private and shared rooms where each unit has kitchen appliances, spacious layouts, and modern TVs, and those rooms get regular housekeeping to keep things pleasant, which helps folks settle in, and while the building resembles a resort hotel on the inside, it sticks to full compliance with building codes and fire safety rules.
There's a dedicated team of licensed nurses and support staff, with on-site physicians and a range of specialists like physical, occupational, and speech therapists, plus dental, podiatry, and optometry services, so people have health care needs met right there without having to travel. Skilled nursing care is available 24 hours a day, including palliative and hospice care for those who need extra support, and ventilator care's offered, too. Memory care is provided for residents with cognitive impairments, and individualized rehabilitation plans are made upon admission, with therapies happening on-site in a therapy gym where people can regain independence in ways that bring small victories every day.
Meals are restaurant-style, served in a communal dining room where folks can choose what they'd like to eat, sit with new friends, and enjoy good company, while a registered dietitian plans menus so nutrition is looked after, and the staff helps with daily activities like getting dressed or managing medication. There's a lively schedule of activities-sing-alongs, films, birthday celebrations, church services, music programs, group games, and holiday parties help everyone stay engaged, and outdoor activities, like summer barbecues, scenic bus rides, and trips to local restaurants, give folks a chance to get fresh air. There's a beautician on-site to help residents look and feel their best, plus communal spaces for socializing, which residents appreciate, and an enrichment center for hobbies and recreation.
Staff members speak English, and sometimes other languages, and the team receives ongoing training with in-person interviews for every hire to make sure skills stay sharp and everyone fits the culture of care, comfort, and connection that's so important here. The Villas Assisted Living is another option on the same campus for people who need a different level of support, and the facility is fully licensed and certified by state and federal agencies. People can choose how to spend their days, picking outfits or meals, and there's help available for insurance and payment questions, as well as support services for caregivers. Housekeeping and maintenance happen regularly, and the place offers personal assistance for daily living activities.
The center features plenty of resort-style amenities, but the staff's main focus is always on well-being and quality of life, working alongside families to make everyone feel part of the community. Residents and their loved ones can see the facility through an online virtual tour and view up-to-date images in a gallery, and directory information is refreshed at least every month, so folks stay informed. Bennington Glen isn't accepting new patients currently, but the staff can give updates on when rooms will be available if someone calls to ask.
