Nim Henson Geriatric Center provides nursing-home care designed for individuals who need ongoing clinical oversight and assistance with daily medical needs. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to deliver wound care, medication administration, IV therapy, and monitoring of vital signs. The center also offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, with care plans developed in coordination with physicians to support optimal recovery and mobility.
Beyond direct medical services, the facility supports residents through regular assessments, care plan reviews, and coordination with outside specialists such as cardiologists or nephrologists when required. Staff help manage chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, schedule laboratory work, and facilitate on-site diagnostic services to reduce the need for outside appointments. Social services and discharge planning are available to ensure continuity of care if a resident’s condition changes.
Residents live in private or shared rooms that include basic furnishings, climate control, and emergency call systems. Some accommodations have direct access to outdoor areas, allowing residents to spend time outside without leaving the secured grounds, though not every room offers this feature. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are provided to keep living spaces clean and functional.
Meals are prepared on site with input from registered dietitians to meet therapeutic and regular dietary needs. Three daily meals and scheduled snacks are served in a communal dining room, with tray service offered to residents who are unable to dine in common areas. Texture-modified diets, low-sodium options, and other physician-ordered meal plans are available, and staff provide assistance with eating for residents who require help.
The community offers a library and computer lounge where residents can read, use the internet, or participate in scheduled group activities centered on lifelong learning. Staff coordinate access to these spaces and provide basic technical assistance when needed, promoting cognitive engagement and social interaction among residents.
