Campus Health Care Center sits about 2.3 miles outside Girard, Ohio, over on 196 Colonial Drive in Youngstown, and you'll find it's a senior living place that handles all sorts of care from nursing and rehab to memory care, dual diagnosis treatment, and geriatric psychiatry, with a focus on the mental, physical, and sometimes spiritual sides of getting older, aging, and dealing with addiction. Folks come here with all kinds of needs-some needing skilled nursing, some looking for a place with controlled memory care, and some for help with mental health or substance use, and the place can handle clinically complex cases, too, because they've got RNs, LPNs, and CNAs looking after a group that averages about 79 residents under their roof, with a total of 100 beds available, of which they can certify every single one, and you'll see they're part of a bigger operation called Inspira Health Group, with clinics and hospitals sprinkled throughout Ohio, so they've got a bit of an established touch.
The facility is for adults over 18 needing inpatient care, and there's a special focus on older adults, with a 28-bed adult inpatient unit where folks can work through diagnosis, stabilization, or treatment for more acute symptoms, including things like Alzheimer's, dual diagnosis, and mental illness, so you'll see psychiatrists oversee treatment with individualized care plans put together by a team, and you can expect things like psychotherapy, group therapy, anger management, stress programs, rehabilitation, and expressive arts all woven into a structured daily schedule. People stay more comfortable, wearing their own clothes if they can; family and friends can keep up with visits if they sign the log, show the patient's pin number, wear a badge, and stick to daily visiting hours from 2:00 to 3:00 pm, which seems pretty tight, but that's the privacy and safety policy, and the pin system is used for patient confidentiality whenever staff share information or receive packages for the residents, and these packages get checked over just to keep folks safe.
There are more hands-on things like home-cooked meals, laundry that can be done by family or on-site, support with dressing, bathing, toileting, and wandering prevention since it's a secured facility, and there's a barber and beauty shop, plus some outside yard spaces and possibly a reading room, hot tub, or sauna depending on what's in use at the time. There's always something going on-music therapy, pet therapy, board games, crafts, movie nights, and community night events, fitness or exercise programs, community integration workshops, and events that keep people busy and engaged, with help for folks who need assistance into and out of the shower or with grooming, and hairdressers that might even travel in. Montessori methods are used in treatment, and people meet in groups like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous, or even spend time with therapy pets brought in to lighten the mood, and the center helps people set goals, reflect on themselves, and get ready to rejoin the greater community if that's possible.
Campus Health Care Center keeps up with all the usual standards, being fully sprinklered, accepting Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurances, and running a nurse staffing ratio that's got roughly 0.72 RN hours, 1.45 LPN hours, and 2.36 CNA hours per resident a day, which, depending on the needs on any given day, could be important for folks asking about how much attention someone will get during their stay. There are resident and family councils to give feedback, and the center is run as a for-profit, but there are multiple layers of oversight-health, staffing, and safety inspections-and the community feedback gives it an average 5.3 out of 10 rating, which you might want to keep in mind as you look at different options.
This place isn't run as a continuing care retirement community, it's not attached to a hospital, and it does not hold the "special focus" facility label, but you'll find it's designed for people who need structure, security, and professional care, with wandering prevention, memory care, and locked doors to keep folks safe, and there's also entertainment, recreation, and a warm and calming atmosphere, for those who want engagement but also quiet or comfort, so you get a mix between keeping busy and making sure people feel looked after. They're part of a broad network, so if you need more specialized help or need to move to another location, they seem equipped to guide you through that, and admissions can happen seven days per week with a psychiatrist's approval, which can be a relief if someone's looking for a quick placement, and payments and room layouts are available if asked about-so, while Campus Health Care Center might not be the flashiest place, it deals honestly with the practical, day-to-day needs of folks who need skilled nursing, mental health care, and a safe setting as they age.
