Capri Gardens in Lewis Center provides licensed nursing-home care with an emphasis on post-acute rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing. Registered nurses are on duty around the clock to handle medication administration, wound treatment, IV management, catheter care, and other complex clinical needs. A full therapy team offers physical, occupational, and speech therapy seven days a week for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, and on-site physicians, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists help coordinate treatment plans. The facility is certified to accept Medicare and Medicaid for qualifying stays.
Beyond direct medical services, Capri Gardens keeps a clinical focus through on-site laboratory work, radiology coordination, and regular specialist visits in areas such as podiatry, optometry, and dental care. Social workers and discharge planners assist families with care conferences, insurance questions, and transition plans, while the staff arranges transportation for outside appointments when necessary. Hospice and palliative care partnerships are available for residents who need end-of-life support, and a secure environment with controlled entries enhances safety for residents who may wander.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms. Each room has an accessible bathroom, emergency call system, adjustable bed, individual climate controls, and basic cable and Wi-Fi, though specific features vary by room type. Housekeeping, linen service, and personal laundry are performed on a regular schedule, and maintenance staff handle routine repairs. Families can personalize rooms with small furnishings and décor to make the space comfortable, but not all rooms have enough floor area for larger personal items.
Dining services provide three daily meals plus snacks, all overseen by a registered dietitian who adjusts menus for diabetic, heart-healthy, mechanical soft, or pureed diets. Meals are served in a central dining room to encourage social interaction, and tray service is available to rooms when residents are ill or prefer to eat privately. Hydration stations and between-meal nourishment carts circulate throughout the day, and staff monitor intake for residents with special nutritional goals. While most residents follow the standard meal schedule, those in therapy sessions can request alternate serving times as needed.
