Bowling Green Care Center, sometimes known as Blakely Care Center of Bowling, sits in Bowling Green, OH, and has been around since 1967, serving people with different health and living needs in a building that used to be known as Blakely Care Center and Community Nursing Home, and nowadays, you'll see it as part of The Willows at Bowling Green senior living community managed by Trilogy Senior Living, mixing assisted living, skilled nursing, independent living, and memory care under one roof, and folks living here have access to a lot of health and wellness services, with 12-16 hour nursing support, mental wellness programs, and even specialized care for conditions like stroke, chronic diseases, and dementia. There's care available for people who can't live safely by themselves but don't need full-time skilled nursing, and there are services for those who need more, including intravenous therapy, wound care, and physical, occupational, or speech therapy, plus in-house eye, dental, podiatry, and psychological care, pharmacy services, health counseling, and diagnostic X-rays, so residents can usually get most of what they need right on-site. Safety features are front and center with a 24-hour call system, emergency alert features, and round-the-clock supervision, giving both the residents and their families peace of mind, and the property's pet-friendly, letting people keep some of their favorite company with them.
Meals and daily activity options stretch from restaurant-style dining to special diets, like diabetes-friendly meals and allergy-sensitive options, and rooms come in several layouts, including private rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air-conditioning, cable TV, telephones, high-speed internet, and furniture. Social life gets a boost from common spaces with a dining room and movie nights, game room, music and arts rooms, fitness and wellness areas, outdoor spaces with walking paths and gardens, a small library, community-sponsored activities, and scheduled programs, plus move-in coordination, housekeeping, laundry, and family support services, helping folks settle in and keep life as simple as possible. Unique touches show up in the indoor therapy pool and the plans for a large kitchen and event center that'll host luncheons, baby showers, weddings, and community gatherings, making it a place where volunteers can teach cooking, art, or music skills, which is especially useful as part of the ongoing transformation into a community program site. Here, there are adult day services, employment services, residential options, and non-medical transportation provided for residents and people with developmental disabilities, all done through Wood Lane Residential Services, a non-profit separate from the Wood County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and there's support for families needing help with funding and short-term respite care for caregivers.
Bowling Green Care Center includes everything from assistance with bathing, dressing, or moving about, all the way to help with medications and symptom management, and it does its best to make life comfortable, home-like, and flexible for any specific needs, with scheduled daily activities, concierge services, and transportation for errands, appointments, or events. The center stands out as a larger skilled nursing facility, and while it's managed as a for-profit corporation, it keeps its longtime tradition of caring, adapting programs and spaces to meet physical or developmental differences, and making room for everyone to keep learning, socializing, and being active, with a real focus on personal growth, medical support, and a strong sense of community.
