University Manor Health Care sits over in Cleveland, OH and has been around since 2004, caring for seniors who need skilled nursing after an illness, a hospital stay, surgery, or for folks dealing with long-term health issues or memory loss. The place offers 24-hour supervision and has skilled nurses available most of the day, usually from 12 to 16 hours daily, alongside a 24-hour call system so folks can get help any time they need it. Residents get support with things like transfers, bathing, dressing, and managing their medicine, and there's hands-on help for people who can't get around on their own or need extra assistance with daily activities.
The building includes private furnished rooms with their own bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, air conditioning, telephone, and fast internet. Folks eat meals prepared on-site-in a regular dining room or a private one for special times-and they can choose from special menu options to fit their diets. Outside of basic care, the facility offers many amenities, like a game room, a reading library, walking paths, outdoor spaces, a garden, business area, fitness room, and a wellness spa, and there's a hair salon and barbershop for grooming. Residents can enjoy scheduled activities such as movie nights, music programs, recreational activities, and holiday events to help everyone stay social.
University Manor Health Care is a large, non-profit place that's licensed to accept Medicare and Medicaid, which gives more options for lots of seniors who need help paying for skilled care. The care team is made up of qualified staff, including psychiatrists and a dedicated social worker for folks dealing with behavioral health or substance abuse, plus a therapy group who leads rehab and recovery for people after surgery or a serious illness. They offer specialty care like cardiac and pulmonary monitoring, pain and wound management, IV therapy, help for folks who had strokes, and respiratory and neurological care, all right on site. There are also services for memory care, short-term rehab, assisted living, long-term care, respite stays, and even hospice, so seniors can find what fits best for their health and independence.
The place uses the X-Plain multi-media library system so residents and families can learn about their health needs, and there's a pre-surgery registration program for those coming in ahead of planned procedures, which helps folks get ready for their stay. Therapy like physical, occupational, and speech is part of everyday care, and residents have access to equipment and specialty staff who support recovery and help them stay as independent as possible. Care plans get made with input from residents, their families, and doctors. There are custom programs for people struggling with substance abuse or behavioral struggles, and staff works to understand each person's needs and interests for a better quality of life. People here get help with meals, laundry, housekeeping, bathing, medication reminders, transportation, and more, which can take some stress off families. The main goal is to offer steady support, a comfortable environment, and care for the whole person-body, mind, and spirit-so residents can make the most out of each day, whatever their health needs.
