Lisner Louise Dickson Hurt Home in Washington, DC operates as a nursing home, providing round-the-clock skilled nursing care. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty 24 hours a day to monitor vital signs, manage medications, and address changes in health status. Residents who need help regaining strength after surgery, illness, or injury can participate in the on-site Rehabilitation Program, which offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy based on physician orders.

Beyond direct medical interventions, the facility supplies routine help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly to align services with each resident’s current needs. Staff coordinate with external physicians and specialists to arrange lab work, imaging, or other off-site appointments, and transportation is organized when necessary. Family members receive periodic updates so they stay informed about the resident’s progress and any changes in care.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, and each includes basic furnishings and a phone line, enabling residents to stay in touch with friends, family, and medical providers. Not every room contains every feature; prospective residents should confirm specific fixtures and layouts during their visit. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are provided to keep living areas clean and functional.

Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with staff present to assist those who need help eating or managing special diets. Menus are developed with input from dietitians to meet nutritional guidelines and accommodate physician-ordered restrictions such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets. Snacks and beverages are available between meals for residents who require additional calories or prefer flexible dining times.

Recreational programming includes scheduled Bingo sessions that offer social engagement and cognitive stimulation.
