Holy Cross Village at Notre Dame Inc provides nursing home care designed for residents who need continuous medical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and coordinate with physicians for routine and specialized treatments. The facility offers skilled services such as wound care, post-surgical recovery, IV therapy, and on-site physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation. Short-term stays for recuperation and long-term placements for chronic conditions are both available, and care plans are updated regularly to match changes in each resident’s health status.
Beyond direct medical services, the nursing staff supports daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, mobility assistance, and continence care. An emergency call system links every resident area to clinical staff, and routine health assessments help prevent complications. Social services staff work with families on discharge planning or transitions within the community, while a chaplain and counseling team address spiritual and emotional needs. Transportation to outside medical appointments is coordinated when required, ensuring continuity with external specialists.
Resident accommodations range from private to shared rooms, each designed to meet accessibility standards. Many units include mini blinds on all windows for privacy and wall-to-wall carpet for added comfort, though these features are not present in every room. Several living areas open directly onto outdoor spaces, providing fresh air and a safe environment for supervised walks or quiet sitting. Furniture is arranged to allow easy use of mobility devices, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs promptly.
Meals are prepared on site and follow menus developed by dietitians to meet clinical requirements, including diabetic, low-sodium, and texture-modified options. Residents eat in a central dining room where staff are available to assist with seating, portion control, and adaptive utensils. For those unable to travel to the dining area, tray service is offered in their rooms, and nutrition intake is monitored and recorded as part of each care plan.
On the lifestyle side, Holy Cross Village provides a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use the internet, or participate in small-group classes on basic computer skills. An activity center hosts scheduled events such as exercise sessions, crafts, music programs, and resident council meetings. These spaces are staffed by recreation personnel who tailor programming to different mobility and cognitive levels, helping residents stay engaged and socially connected.
