Metro Health Center for Skilled, known as The Elisabeth Severance Prentiss Center for Skilled Nursing Care at MetroHealth, sits at 3525 Scranton Road in Cleveland, OH, and works as a 150-bed skilled nursing home where people can get both long-term and short-term care, so if a person needs medical help or extra support each day, they've got nurses and therapists working all the time, with nursing care available around the clock and doctors in many specialties like geriatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, hospice, and pain management, plus several more, and 27 doctors cover 11 specialty areas. People can get therapy right on-site, including physical, occupational, speech, and recreational therapy, and they've got tailor-made programs for each person, like gait training, therapeutic exercises, upper body function checks, and support for using prosthetics, while those with memory loss have a special dementia unit with person-centered care. Therapy and medical care happen from licensed, registered, and certified therapists and nurses, with both English and Spanish spoken, and they welcome new patients using Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, or private pay.
Rooms come with safe and accessible features, flat-screen TVs, and telephones, and folks can keep little pets or have visits from pets, which always seems to cheer people up. Food services cover a lot of ground, with healthy snacks, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, allergen-free, low sodium, and diabetic meals, and sandwiches, fruit, and snacks are always in reach day or night. The nurses and medical staff do medication management, wound care for bed sores, long-term antibiotic therapy, tube feeding, and total parenteral nutrition, and help comes seven days a week for things like geriatric care, hospice in partnership with others, and respiratory care for breathing problems. The staff also offers counseling for residents and families, with outreach and education, and there are safety supports and language translation as needed. People can join in plenty of daily activities, from arts, music, gardening, and games, to group outings, wellness programs, religious services, and support groups, and there are outdoor gardens, walking paths, and even community rides for appointments or trips around town.
The center's tied closely with Case Western Reserve University as a teaching hospital, and it's got ties to a regional burn center, pediatric trauma, neonatal intensive care, a specialty dementia care unit, a big rehab program, and many outpatient clinics and specialty medical branches close by. There's also a library, beauty salon, barbershop, courtyard, big multipurpose room, and 24-hour security, with both resident and guest parking. It's near cafes, restaurants, parks, and pharmacies, so family and visitors find it handy. The group practice setup means lots of care options, and people can expect thorough health, wellness, and social programs to help them live as well as possible.
