Thomson-Hood Veterans Center offers nursing-home care designed to meet the daily health needs of veterans who require ongoing support. Residents receive 24-hour nursing oversight, assistance with activities of daily living, medication administration, and monitoring for chronic conditions. The facility is structured to provide a higher level of clinical supervision than is typically found in residential or assisted-living settings, ensuring that individuals with complex medical needs have consistent access to qualified nursing staff.
Additional medical support includes on-site physical therapy delivered by licensed professionals. Therapy services are scheduled according to each resident’s plan of care, emphasizing mobility, fall prevention, and recovery from injury or surgery. The therapy team collaborates with nursing staff and attending physicians to set goals, track progress, and adjust treatment plans as necessary. This coordinated approach helps residents maintain or improve functional abilities while receiving long-term nursing care.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and utilities are included in the basic rate. Some living spaces also provide direct access to outdoor areas, offering residents an easy way to enjoy fresh air without leaving the secured grounds; however, not every unit has every feature, so it is best to verify specific room details during a visit.
The dining program emphasizes balanced nutrition and accommodates physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic menus. Meals are prepared on site, served three times daily, and alternate entrée choices are available to meet personal preferences or dietary restrictions. Clinical dietitians review menus regularly to ensure nutritional adequacy and to make adjustments based on individual health requirements.
Residents have access to an activity center, structured arts and crafts sessions, and a library and computer lounge that provides internet access for keeping in touch with family or handling personal business. These amenities offer practical opportunities for social interaction, recreation, and continued learning.
