Southwest Health Center Nursing Home -
Committed to Resident Centered Care
The resident is in charge.
Dignity of choice in their daily lives - regardless of where one lives, we believe that people deserve choice as a basic human right. At Southwest Health Center's Nursing Home, we approach everything we do with a focus on our residents. From choosing what time to start or end their day or choosing when to enjoy their mid-day meal or choosing what to eat, we respect and abide by our residents' personal choices.
Each individual deserves our utmost attention, respect, and affection and can expect to receive our best care. Southwest Health Center's Nursing Home is a coordinated system of professionals who care for our residents on a very personal basis but ultimately, the resident is empowered to have a voice in many aspects of their daily lives.
Staff that is second to none.
Continuously trained in the latest techniques to care for our residents, the staff at Southwest Health Center Nursing Home is dedicated, professional, compassionate, and caring. The multi-disciplinary team of health care providers meets regularly to provide a consistent, up-to-date care plan for each resident. In addition to 24/7 access to physicians, there is a registered nurse in-house at all times.
Comprehensive rehabilitation.
Whenever possible, our goal is to return residents to their homes and their lifestyles. Through rehabilitation-such as after a stroke, surgery, or a fractured bone-many residents learn to function on their own. For others, our staff works with residents in the Restorative/Rehabilitation program to offer greater independence. On-site therapies include:
- Post-Acute Rehabilitation
- Occupational Therapy
- Physical Therapy
- Speech Therapy
Our nursing home offers residents the choice of private or semi-private rooms that are well-maintained and attractively decorated. Residents are welcome to bring personal items, such as a rocking chair, pictures, a radio, or TV. And our living and dining areas are just as comfortable. Throughout the seasons, our nursing home offers views of the farming community we neighbor, and residents and guests are welcome to enjoy our outdoor pavilion.
Recreation and activities to delight.
In order to meet the unique interests of our residents, we offer diverse social and recreational activities. Our highly anticipated Mother & Daughter Banquet and Holiday Party are annual hits with residents and their families. Area clergy hold regular religious services on site. There is also an active Resident Council who meets monthly to discuss specific issues and make suggestions.
Delicious meals cooked with care.
Inspired by restaurant fine dining experiences, our dining rooms are tastefully decorated with fine china and flatware on linen tablecloths. Under the direction of our registered dietitian, three home-cooked meals are prepared on-site and served in our dining rooms . . . or in the resident's own room, if he/she prefers. While some residents may require special diets as prescribed by his/her doctor, we provide many choices at meal-time along with snacks in between. Family and guests are always welcome to dine, too.
Lasting Tributes.
Southwest Health Center is honored to have served so many special people over the years. Many of our friends and family members have chosen to leave a lasting memorial erected on our grounds. Statues, benches and fountains are just a few of the memorials that we proudly display.
