Altercare of Canal Winchester Post-Acute RC operates as a nursing home, providing around-the-clock licensed nursing coverage for residents who need continuous medical oversight. The team manages post-acute recovery, long-term custodial care, and short-stay rehabilitation, coordinating with physicians to monitor vital signs, administer medications, and respond to changes in condition. Skilled nursing staff handle wound care, IV therapies, complex medication regimens, and other services that typically require a clinical setting.
Beyond routine nursing, the facility offers a structured Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program designed for residents with chronic lung conditions or those recovering from respiratory events. Respiratory therapists collaborate with nurses and physicians to deliver breathing treatments, oxygen therapy, and monitored exercise sessions aimed at improving lung function and endurance. Additional supportive services include on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapies, social services, and case management to coordinate follow-up appointments and discharge planning.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms, each furnished with basic necessities and an emergency call system. Some rooms offer direct access to the community’s outdoor areas, giving residents a place to walk or sit outside when weather permits, though not every room includes this feature. Housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff, and maintenance teams address repairs to ensure safety and functionality.
Meals are prepared by dietary staff who work with clinical dietitians to meet physician-ordered nutritional plans, including modified textures and therapeutic diets when prescribed. Residents dine in a central dining room when able, while tray service is available for those who need or prefer to eat in their rooms. Menu cycles are reviewed regularly, and substitutions are provided to accommodate individual tastes or clinical requirements.
