Wood Lake Health And Rehabilitation Center offers skilled nursing care in a setting where residents can get both short-term rehab and long-term care, and folks who are recovering from a hospital stay or need help managing daily tasks find a supportive place here, with nurses, aides, and therapists available around the clock. The center has 120 Medicare- and Medicaid-approved beds and takes residents with a range of care needs, from those who just need help with things like bathing and dressing, all the way up to those who are more frail and need constant nursing supervision, and it also accepts both Medicare and Medicaid, so it serves people from many backgrounds, including those with low incomes. The grounds are well-kept, with gardens, a pond and fountain, patios, and walking paths, and living spaces are shared rooms that are clean and set up to make sure everyone has enough space and privacy. Residents can enjoy amenities like a fitness room, activity and game rooms, a movie theater, library, spa, community garden, and special programs, so there's a bit of everything whether someone likes to be active or just relax with friends or family.
The staff at Wood Lake focuses on taking care of the elderly and people with disabilities, using care plans made for each resident to make sure medical needs and daily routines get the right attention, and staff provide medication management, wound care, diabetic care, and help with activities of daily living. Skilled nursing services are available 24 hours a day, rehab services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy are on site for people working to get stronger or get back abilities, and respite care gives short-term relief for families who need a break. The place works hard to create a safe environment too, because there's a sprinkler system for fire safety, nurse call buttons in rooms, and a staff that has received good marks for staffing levels even though the health rating is on the lower end right now after recent audits; still, the quality rating stays high, with a 5/5 on clinical outcomes.
Training and education stand out at Wood Lake, with programs in dementia and Alzheimer's care, caregiver certification, and even senior home care and Residential Assisted Living courses. Folks can count on housekeeping, laundry, community-sponsored daily activities, transportation, and parking, and the dining room serves allergy-sensitive and special-diet meals, prepared by professional chefs, so different dietary needs are met. Rooms have cable TV, high-speed internet, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and air conditioning, making them comfortable and practical. The ownership changed hands recently, and the staff includes nurses, aides, and therapists who work together to manage both health and comfort so people get the best possible outcomes, all in an environment that aims to be welcoming and respectful.
