Elm Heights
Care Center offers private and semi-private rooms for 42 area residents.
Fully licensed and accredited, including Medicaid Certification, our
residents can be served on a long term, short term, or convalescent
basis for rehabilitative therapy prior to returning to their own living
arrangements. Short stays are sometimes possible for a temporary
occupancy while family or other caregivers are out of town.
Medical Staff
Personalized service and
around-the-clock supervised care are provided by a staff dedicated to a
tradition of excellence. Our nursing department is fully-staffed
24 hours a day. Medical care is directed by your family physician
and is delivered by Registered and Licensed Practical Nurses, assisted
by Certified Nurse Aides. A staff social worker is also available
to assist residents and families. Our professional staff
participates in continuing education to enhance its delivery of
services.
Residents maintain their
relationship with their family physician. In addition, our Medical
Director, Dr. Floyd Jones, is available for consultation with staff in
providing resident care services.
A wide range of services are
available both on-site and as outpatient services for our residents.
They include:
Restorative & Rehabilitative
