St Catherine's Manor of Washington Court House

St Catherine's Manor of Washington Court House is both a place for short-term rehab and long-term care, so folks come here when they need skilled nursing or just help with daily living, and they'll see features around that help older people stay as independent as they can, like fully furnished rooms with private bathrooms for comfort, wide hallways for easy movement, and a 24-hour call system if anyone needs support. The community's got a lot going on, too-there are scheduled daily activities, fitness programs, and even some resident-run things that help folks stay active, plus spaces like the fitness room, gaming room, garden, small library, and a cozy dining room, not to mention a beauty salon if someone needs a trim or a bit of pampering. If someone needs help with bathing, dressing, or getting from place to place, the staff provides that, and there's medication management, diabetes diet support, and a mental wellness program, so everyone gets the care they need for both mind and body, and for those who struggle with memory, there are memory-enhancing activities and special support for Alzheimer's or dementia. People see a real mix of staff, some well known-like Tara Wilson in therapy services-and leadership from Dr. Kenneth Writesel for medical direction, along with a wide support team that helps folks recover after surgery or illness, and the experienced therapists get to know each resident to make care feel personal, while visits from pets like Levi Jingles help the place feel more like home. St Catherine's offers a good number of specialized medical and career training services right on site, such as nurse aide training, medical billing, pharmacy tech work, and even ultrasound and surgical tech programs, with most classes run locally or through the Red Cross, lasting about 4 to 15 weeks, so there's lots of chance to learn new skills; sometimes they've got free options or ways to pay over time. For families who need a break, respite care is available, and if someone needs a ride into town or to a doctor's appointment, the transport team can sort that out. Meals, activities, and personal touches are all part of life here, and there's a strong effort made to keep everyone's personal journey respected, encourage a sense of family, and treat residents with real dignity and care, aiming to help people regain their strength and confidence however long they stay.
