Ararat Nursing Facility operates as a skilled nursing home, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight for residents who require continuous medical monitoring or complex care. Short-term respite stays are available, allowing caregivers temporary relief while the resident receives the same round-the-clock clinical attention, medication administration, and rehabilitation services extended to long-term residents.
Beyond direct medical interventions, the care team assists with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility support. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are delivered on site, and care plans are reviewed regularly with physicians, nurses, and family members to keep treatment goals current. The staff also coordinates outside appointments, arranges transportation for medical visits when necessary, and keeps families informed about changes in condition.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, with some suites offered fully furnished to simplify move-in. Select units open to landscaped outdoor areas that provide fresh air and space for light exercise, but not every room includes direct patio or garden access. Maintenance and housekeeping are handled by the facility to keep living spaces clean and functional.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are provided each day, served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction. Menus are designed to meet clinical requirements, and therapeutic diets or texture-modified meals can be prepared when ordered by a physician. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals, and nursing staff monitor intake for residents with specific dietary goals.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, visit the library and computer lounge to read or stay connected online, or join one of the organized clubs and community groups that meet regularly. Scheduled programs aim to support physical movement, cognitive engagement, and social connection, offering structure without sacrificing individual choice.
