Lorien Mays Chapel operates as a licensed nursing home, delivering 24-hour skilled nursing care for individuals who need ongoing medical oversight. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who manage wound care, medication administration, and chronic disease monitoring. Short-term respite care is available for families who need temporary relief while ensuring their loved one receives the same level of clinical attention provided to long-term residents.
Beyond direct nursing services, the facility offers regular physician visits, on-site rehabilitation therapies, and coordination with outside specialists. Care plans are individualized, reviewed regularly, and adjusted as conditions change. An emergency call system links residents to nursing staff at any hour, and pharmacy services ensure timely medication refills and adjustments. Social workers help with discharge planning and connections to outside resources when a resident’s stay is temporary.
Resident rooms are available in both private and semi-private layouts, each designed to accommodate basic furniture, personal items, and mobility equipment. Some rooms include in-suite showers, while others share a nearby bathroom; not all rooms have the same storage space or view. Housekeeping, laundry service, and routine maintenance are provided so residents can focus on recovery or daily living rather than household tasks.
Meals are prepared three times a day in an on-site kitchen and served in a communal dining room that allows for social interaction and staff supervision. Therapeutic diets, texture-modified meals, and physician-ordered supplements are followed closely by dietary staff. Room service is an option when a resident’s health or preference makes it hard to reach the dining area. Snacks and beverages are available throughout the day, but menu variety can differ by season.
Residents have access to an activity center where structured programs such as crafts, games, and group exercises are scheduled to support cognitive and physical engagement. The library and computer lounge offers a quiet place to read, use a computer, or connect with family via video call, with staff available for basic technical assistance.
