Altercare of Hartville Center offers nursing-home care designed for residents who require ongoing clinical oversight and assistance with daily living activities. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and carry out physician-directed treatment plans. The center also features a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program that supports individuals with chronic respiratory conditions or those recovering from a recent pulmonary event; respiratory therapists work alongside nursing staff to deliver inhalation therapies, oxygen management, and breathing exercises aimed at improving lung function and endurance.
Beyond direct medical interventions, the facility coordinates rehabilitative and supportive services that help residents regain or maintain independence. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are provided on-site, with individualized treatment schedules reviewed weekly by an interdisciplinary team. Social services staff assist with care planning and discharge coordination when appropriate, while dietitians collaborate with physicians to adjust therapeutic diets for conditions such as diabetes or cardiac disease. Ongoing fall-prevention initiatives, wound-care protocols, and infection-control measures further reinforce resident safety.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semiprivate rooms equipped with accessible bathrooms, adjustable beds, and basic furnishings; some rooms offer in-room temperature controls, cable hookups, and Wi-Fi access, though these features are not present in every unit. Housekeeping and laundry services are provided on a routine schedule, and maintenance staff handle repairs to keep living spaces functional. Emergency call systems connect residents to nursing staff at any time, and common lounges give residents additional space for social interaction. Families are encouraged to personalize rooms within safety guidelines to make the environment more comfortable.
Meals are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietitian and served in a central dining room that accommodates varied mobility levels. Menus rotate regularly and include options that address therapeutic dietary needs, such as low-sodium or mechanically altered textures, while snacks are available between meals. Residents who require assistance with eating receive help from trained staff, and room-service trays can be arranged for those who are ill or prefer privacy. Periodic food councils and satisfaction surveys collect resident input so that meal choices can be adjusted as preferences change.
