Ascension Living Nazarethville Place provides 24-hour skilled nursing care designed for individuals who need ongoing medical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs and carry out physician-directed treatment plans. Residents who require post-acute rehabilitation have access to physical, occupational and speech therapy delivered in an on-site therapy gym, while those with chronic conditions benefit from disease-specific programs that focus on cardiac, pulmonary and diabetic management. The care team also coordinates laboratory work, imaging and specialist consultations to reduce the need for outside appointments.
Beyond direct medical services, the community delivers a full range of supportive care features. Staff members assist with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing and mobility, and routine health assessments help adjust care levels as needs change. Transportation is arranged for off-site medical visits when required, and social workers help families navigate insurance questions and discharge planning. Short-term respite stays are available for caregivers who need a temporary break, and hospice coordination can be arranged for residents who elect end-of-life services.
Resident accommodations include a selection of private and companion suites, some located in areas referred to as Midwest Village or near sections themed after the Nicholas Conservatory & Anderson Gardens. Rooms may feature direct phone lines and access to landscaped outdoor areas for fresh air and visiting, though not every suite offers each of these elements. Housekeeping, linen service and building maintenance are provided by staff, and emergency call systems are installed in every living space to ensure a prompt response to urgent needs.
Meals are prepared on site by culinary staff who follow physician-approved dietary guidelines. Three daily meals plus snacks are served in a communal dining room, with modified textures and therapeutic diets available for residents with swallowing or metabolic restrictions. For individuals unable to leave their rooms, tray service is provided. A registered dietitian oversees menu planning to meet nutritional requirements while accommodating personal preferences and cultural considerations.
The community supports an active lifestyle through scheduled social, recreational and educational programs that encourage engagement and cognitive stimulation. Residents can take part in exercise classes, discussion groups, art sessions and games held in the activity center, and the calendar is updated regularly to reflect seasonal events and resident suggestions.
