Laurels of Steubenville in Steubenville, Ohio, operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering around-the-clock nursing care for individuals who need a higher level of medical oversight than a typical assisted-living environment provides. A Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is in place for residents managing chronic lung conditions or recovering from respiratory events; this program focuses on improving breathing efficiency and overall endurance under the guidance of respiratory therapists and nursing staff. The community’s broader Rehabilitation Program includes physical, occupational, and speech therapies, delivered on a personalized schedule to help each resident regain mobility, strength, and daily living skills. Short-term stays are supported through Respite Care, giving family caregivers temporary relief while ensuring the resident receives continuous professional supervision.
Beyond these core programs, Laurels of Steubenville maintains a clinical team equipped to handle medication administration, wound care, and post-surgical recovery protocols. Care plans are developed in coordination with attending physicians and adjusted as conditions change, ensuring each resident’s evolving health needs are addressed promptly. On-site diagnostic services and regular physician visits reduce the need for off-site appointments, while 24-hour emergency response systems add another layer of protection for residents who might experience sudden health changes.
Resident rooms are designed with practical considerations in mind. Some accommodations feature in-room telephones, allowing residents to maintain direct contact with family and healthcare providers, while others may not include this option. Outdoor areas are available for residents who wish to spend time outside, whether for fresh air, therapy exercises, or visiting with guests; however, not every room enjoys immediate patio or courtyard access. Families are encouraged to verify which features are tied to the specific room type they are considering.
Dining services are structured to meet clinical and nutritional requirements. Meals are prepared daily, with dietitian oversight to support therapeutic diets such as cardiac-friendly, diabetic, or texture-modified menus. Residents have access to three scheduled meals plus snacks, and staff members are available to assist those who need help with eating or have special dietary concerns. Menu adjustments can be made when a physician orders changes or when a resident’s preferences align with their medical plan.
The community offers several common-area amenities aimed at supporting social engagement and cognitive stimulation. An Activity Center hosts scheduled programs, including crafts, exercise classes, and group discussions. A Library and Computer Lounge provides space for reading, internet access, and virtual visits with family members. Organized Social Outings allow residents to attend local events or visit nearby attractions, with transportation arranged by the facility to ensure safety and continuity of care.
