Osage Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is licensed as a nursing-home and is structured to deliver 24-hour skilled nursing care. Residents have access to short-term respite stays, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring professional oversight. A full rehabilitation team is on site, with physical therapists targeting mobility and strength goals and speech therapists addressing communication or swallowing issues. Daily rounds by an attending doctor support continuity of care, and nursing staff monitor medications, wound care, and vital signs to manage both chronic and post-acute conditions.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the center emphasizes consistent supervision and personalized care planning. Staff members assess each resident’s abilities and adjust assistance with dressing, grooming, and other activities of daily living as needed. Care plans are reviewed with families, and the team coordinates with outside specialists or hospitals when a higher level of intervention is required. Safety measures such as call systems and fall-reduction protocols are part of routine operations.
Accommodations are designed for practicality and accessibility. Many rooms feature wheelchair-accessible showers, cable TV, and housekeeping services, while select areas open directly to landscaped outdoor spaces or gardens. A library and computer lounge supports quiet activities, and on-site parking makes visits straightforward. The community is pet-friendly, but not every unit allows animals, and individual rooms may not include every listed feature, so confirming specific details during a tour is recommended.
Dining services provide three meals each day, prepared to accommodate a range of dietary needs. Standard menus include low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, and kitchen staff can adjust seasonings and textures for medical requirements. Healthy snacks are available between meals to maintain energy levels, and hydration checks are routine. Residents who require assistance with eating receive support from trained staff.
Recreational programming centers on an activity room where bingo, TV or movie nights, and club meetings take place. Scheduled social outings keep residents involved with the wider Osage City community, and allowed outdoor time encourages fresh air and light exercise. Health and wellness programs—such as guided stretching or walking groups—supplement formal therapy services, helping residents maintain progress achieved in rehab.
