The Springs Nursing Center

The Springs Nursing Center sits in Hot Springs, VA, and provides care for older adults in a 60-bed skilled nursing facility, and you'll find both private and semi-private rooms available, with daily rates for the special care program set at $220, and the center serves people who need help over the short term, like after a hospital stay with its rehab services, or the long term, with skilled nursing and help every day. The staff handles medication management, wound care, ventilator care, and trach care for people with lung or neurological problems, and a dedicated therapy team offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they focus on helping each person reach their highest level of independence. The nursing center takes a person-centered approach, looking at each resident's needs and life story, so the care plans get tailored and the dietary and nutritional management gets planned out for each person, and they've got in-house IV therapy and around-the-clock safety monitoring. Memory care is handled in a secure 14-bed unit where staff helps people with Alzheimer's or dementia; activities are designed just for them to keep them safe and supported. Amenities in the nursing center include studios, daily planned activities managed by a Certified Activity Manager, and comprehensive wound care, and they have skilled nurses and an interdisciplinary team-including physicians, nurse practitioners, licensed nurses, and therapists-who work together on everything from rehab to long-term care. The Springs Nursing Center offers respite care for short stays if caregivers need a break and supports recovery after injury or illness too. It's a not-for-profit center, part of Kissito Healthcare, has a Bronze National Quality Award from 2010, and you'll find they're connected with programs like VirginiaNavigator, SeniorNavigator, VeteransNavigator, and the Lindsay Institute, plus their online resource directory covers over 26,000 services.

The Springs Nursing Center wants to educate and empower both residents and caregivers, and you'll see they build relationships with families while helping each resident feel as comfortable as possible during their stay, whether for short-term rehab or long-term care.
