East Towne Care Ctr has 51 certified beds, with about 43 residents and a bed occupancy rate around 84%, so there's enough room to have some privacy and not feel crowded, and the building's fully sprinklered which adds a sense of safety that a lot of folks appreciate, and the place isn't connected to a hospital, instead being run as a for-profit corporation with multiple nursing home ownership, and you'll find it participates in both Medicare and Medicaid, accepting people who rely on those programs, which is important for many families who need help in covering the costs. The center's main care service is Skilled Nursing Facility, with RN, LPN, and CNA staff providing an average of 1.64 hours per resident, and residents get help with diabetic care, high acuity care, incontinence care, and pressure sore treatment, plus they get regular influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations, and the state comes by for ongoing health inspections and to check quality measures aimed at resident care and safety, which seems wise. In terms of living there, some folks come for respite or short-term stays while others are there for longer, and the Center supports people who need help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, laundry, and housekeeping, with 24-hour care and studio room layouts that include wheelchair accessible showers and bathtubs. There's a memory care only community on-site, set up with Wander Guard or similar systems for folks with memory loss, and the team there pays extra attention to Alzheimer's and dementia, with state caregiver certification programs, dementia and Alzheimer's training, and even Medicaid training to help caregivers better serve seniors' needs. The Center offers assisted living, independent living, senior home care courses, rehabilitation services, hospice care, and even home care, and they also provide equipment, supplies, and various support services. Housekeeping and nutritious meal service get planned out by chefs, and the staff keeps meals varied for different dietary needs.
Seniors who stay at East Towne Care Ctr can keep pets like cats and dogs, which can really help some people feel at home, and smoking's allowed outdoors if that's something a resident wants to do, and the setup features things like a beauty salon and a beautician on-site, along with transportation that's complimentary and an easy walk to public transit, making it not so hard to get to appointments or outings. You'll see both indoor and outdoor common areas, and there's even a swimming pool and hot tub for recreation, along with activities onsite, field trips, and devotional services right on the property, and the staff runs activity programs designed to keep people engaged. The facility supports seniors over the age of 55 or 62 for independent living options, and the community offers various types of care, whether someone needs help with day-to-day health care, non-ambulatory care, or just wants to be part of organized community activities, and the whole place is operated by physicians and classified as a personal care facility. The Center isn't listed as a Special Focus Facility, nor does it have resident or family councils, and it isn't a continuing care retirement community, but it does provide several training and certification courses for caregivers, including RAL (Residential Assisted Living) and state-specific certification programs, which means staff are prepared for many different care needs, especially memory care, which can be a lot more expensive for families, but East Towne works with federal and state programs to help with those expenses. Meals are provided and designed for nutrition, there's on-site devotional activities, private and short-term stay options, laundry and housekeeping support, and recreational areas for everyone to use, and they also take special care to offer services and support that are personalized to each resident's needs, from skilled nursing and rehab therapy to help with memory challenges.
