Mount Washington Care Center is licensed as a nursing-home provider and centers its services on skilled medical care. Residents receive 24-hour supervision from registered and licensed practical nurses who administer medications, monitor vital signs, carry out physician orders, and coordinate lab work and diagnostic testing. The facility accepts both short-term rehabilitation patients and long-term residents, offering post-hospital care that includes IV therapy, wound management, and pain control. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly with attending physicians to keep treatment goals current.
Beyond core nursing services, the center maintains an in-house therapy department that delivers physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week. Social services staff handle care conferences, help residents and families navigate insurance issues, and arrange discharge planning when appropriate. Ancillary medical offerings include pharmacy coordination, dental and podiatry visits, and transportation to outside medical appointments. The community also provides respite stays, allowing caregivers temporary relief while ensuring the resident has full access to nursing support.
Resident rooms are offered in a mix of private and semi-private layouts. Each room is equipped with accessible bathrooms and an emergency call system, and housekeeping services are provided on a routine schedule. Some rooms open directly to outdoor areas, giving residents convenient access to fresh air and shaded seating, while others do not; availability depends on room selection and current occupancy.
Meals are prepared on-site and served three times daily in the communal dining room, with tray service to the room available for those who need it. Menus are created by a registered dietitian to accommodate therapeutic and texture-modified diets. Staff monitor nutritional intake and consult with physicians on any required dietary adjustments. Snacks and hydration stations are accessible throughout the day to support consistent calorie and fluid intake.
Residents have access to an activity center where daily programs such as exercise classes, games, and crafts are scheduled. Organized clubs and communities encourage participation in shared interests, promoting social interaction and routine engagement. A library and computer lounge offers reading materials, internet access, and space for email or video calls, supporting both leisure and communication needs.
