Willow Woods Rehabilitation and Nursing Center

Willow Woods Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits at 9625 Market St in North Lima, Ohio, and provides many different types of care for older adults and people with health needs, like short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, skilled nursing and intermediate care for folks who need help most of the time, and even services like memory care, home health care, and hospice. The place has a total of 91 certified beds, all Medicare and Medicaid certified, with an average of 69 people living there each day, and there's a whole team of health workers-including a Director of Rehabilitation, Wound Care Nurse, Directors of Nursing and Social Services, and a bunch of rehabilitation therapists who offer physical, occupational, and speech therapies, either for a short rehab stay or for long-term support. Registered nurses are on-site and available 24 hours a day, and nursing care is provided 12 to 16 hours each day, though the nurse hours per resident are 3.41, a bit under the state average, and nurse turnover is at 40 percent, which is on the higher side. Willow Woods offers private and fully furnished rooms with cable TV, air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, electric adjustable beds, and telephone service-people also get regular housekeeping and fresh linens, so they don't have to worry much about chores. Meals are home-style cooked, served restaurant-style, and the staff can handle special food needs; residents eat in a shared dining room and can spend time in common spaces like a library, fitness and gaming rooms, garden areas, a beauty salon, and a wellness center, so there's always some activity or place to go, and scheduled day trips get folks out and about. The adult day services, respite care, and mental wellness programs mean folks have extra support, and there's a 24-hour call system and supervision for safety. Willow Woods is a pet-friendly place and helps people with daily tasks, medication, and personal care, and there's special attention to physical, occupational, and speech therapies in their therapy gym, along with wound and respiratory therapy, so people get care for medical or recovery needs. Social services help with move-in, planning for care, coordinating discharge, and keeping people's requests managed, and activities like fitness programs, computer center, and planned day trips try to keep life interesting. The nursing center has had some inspection deficiencies, 32 in total with one about infection and others about resident rights and freedom from abuse, but so far these haven't resulted in actual harm, though it's clear there's always room for attention and care. CMS rates the overall care as average, with above average results in some quality measures, average staffing levels, and slightly below average for health inspections, and Medicaid is accepted for those who need it. The management has been under the control of Mordechai Weisz since February 2022, and the facility is a part of Garden Healthcare, which may help with standards and resources, and, all in all, Willow Woods tries to provide both a secure environment and a wide range of healthcare services, making sure folks' daily lives have structure, activities, and medical services when needed.
