Wayne Health Care in Newark, NY operates as a nursing home, offering round-the-clock skilled nursing oversight. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on duty at all times to monitor vital signs, administer medications, and respond to emergent health needs. The facility is equipped to manage post-surgical recovery, wound care, IV therapy, and ongoing treatment for chronic conditions such as diabetes, cardiac disease, and respiratory disorders.
Beyond direct medical treatment, Wayne Health Care provides on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at restoring mobility and function. Residents receive personalized care plans that are reviewed regularly by interdisciplinary teams that may include physicians, therapists, dietitians, and social workers. Assistance with activities of daily living—bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting—is available according to each resident’s assessed level of need, and staff coordinate transportation for off-site medical appointments when required.
Residents can choose from a range of accommodation layouts, and not every room includes every feature. Some units offer convenient outdoor areas for fresh air and visits, while others emphasize an interior setting. All rooms come with basic furnishings unless residents prefer to bring personal pieces; housekeeping services are provided to keep living spaces clean and safe.
Dining services supply three balanced meals each day, prepared to accommodate physician-ordered diets. Low-sodium options and nutritionally balanced choices are routinely available, and healthy snacks are offered between meals to support stable blood sugar levels and overall wellness.
Daily life at Wayne Health Care is supported by an activity center that hosts scheduled programs designed to maintain cognitive and physical engagement. Health and wellness programs provide structured exercise and education, while a library and computer lounge give residents access to reading materials and internet resources for communication and leisure.
