Skilled Nursing Unit

The Skilled Nursing Unit is an essential part of Memorial Hospital's health care delivery system. The programs of this facility combine the advantages of rehabilitation and long term care with the services of our acute care hospital.

The 68 bed facility provides nursing care for individuals who are convalescing, as well as for those who need long-term care. The ultimate goal is to have each individual attain as much independence as is realistically possible through individualized programs of treatment and activities.

Due to the close proximity of the Skilled Nursing Unit to the hospital, our residents enjoy the close attention of their physician and other medical professionals, such as cardiopulmonary therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, nutritionist, speech therapist, radiology and laboratory technicians.

The Medical Director of the Skilled Nursing Unit provides direction for the medical care of our residents. He is very involved with the administrator and nursing staff.

Each semi-private room is furnished with a bed, chair, personal dresser, closet, cable for television and half bath. Bathrooms are designed and equipped for people with disabilities. Residents are encouraged to bring personal possessions to make their room their home. Residents may have their personal laundry done on the unit. Residents may purchase telephone service for their room. Recreation rooms are equipped with large screen TV's for resident entertainment.
