Westland House offers a peaceful and homelike environment designed for individuals in need of short-term skilled nursing, rehabilitation, or end-of-life care. Nestled in a beautiful, wooded setting, the facility provides a serene backdrop ideal for recovery and support. As patients undergo their care, they benefit from surroundings that include large windows and private balconies or patios in each room, granting calming views of pine forests. The tranquility of the environment is further enriched by amenities such as a rehabilitation gym that overlooks a rose patio and a meditation room with sights of an orchid garden, aiming to foster both physical and emotional healing.
The rehabilitation services at Westland House are comprehensive and tailored to each individual's needs. Physical therapy is provided twice each weekday, with a lighter schedule on weekends, ensuring patients have the support they need to regain strength and mobility after surgery or serious injury. Occupational therapists engage with patients each day to help them relearn critical life skills such as cooking, lifting, and dressing, with an emphasis on safety and independence. For those requiring speech therapy, these services are coordinated closely with the patient's medical team to ensure a holistic approach to recovery.
Visitation at Westland House is thoughtfully structured to balance the needs of patients with their safety and well-being. Visitors are welcomed every day from morning until evening, with policies in place to accommodate those in isolation and exceptions considered for end-of-life situations. The care team also facilitates virtual visits via FaceTime for families and friends who are unable to visit in person. Family members and loved ones can take advantage of a family kitchen and a children's playroom, making the facility welcoming for guests of all ages. There are also two large, comfortable sitting rooms where patients and visitors can relax, read, or watch movies together. Overnight stays by visitors are generally limited to one night, with any additional arrangements considered based on the clinical needs of the patient.
Most stays at Westland House are brief, typically less than two weeks, as the focus is on helping individuals recover sufficiently to return home or transition to the next stage of care. The discharge process is supported by a dedicated planner and medical social worker, who assist families in securing adaptive equipment, assistive devices, or in-home care services as needed. For those requiring a higher level of ongoing support, guidance is available for transitioning to long-term care facilities. Throughout their time at Westland House, patients and families can count on receiving care in a setting that is not only medically advanced but also thoughtful in its approach to comfort, dignity, and support.
