Westport Rehabilitation and Nursing Center sits on Forest Avenue in Richmond, VA, and is managed by Mr. Duane Smith. The center operates as both a nursing facility and a skilled nursing facility, before anything else, and holds 225 licensed beds, though 44 of those are set for long-term care and rehabilitation. The staff number comes to about 233.4 full-time people, so there's always someone nearby to help out. The center offers both private rooms at $250 and semi-private rooms at $225 a day.
The center stays open around the clock with no set visiting hours, so families can come when they need. Staff focus on person-centered care, helping each resident with what they need, whether that's medical aftercare, long-term help with a chronic illness, or even just a short break through the respite care program. There's a team approach for care, and most services happen in the privacy of the resident's room.
Rehabilitation is available for folks who've had surgery, illness, or injury, and those services include physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The staff can help with wound care, IV therapy, hospice, and also arrange transportation to dialysis. Discharge planning starts early for people going home. Westport works closely with local hospitals and doctors to support patient needs in the larger community. The parent company is Innovative Healthcare Management. The goal at Westport is pretty straightforward: staff aim to help seniors and those who need care be comfortable, safe, and as well as possible for as long as they're there.
