Smithville Western Care Center in Wooster, OH operates as a nursing-home provider, delivering around-the-clock skilled nursing services for residents who need a higher level of medical oversight. The team is trained to manage chronic conditions, with particular attention to diabetes care. Blood-glucose monitoring, medication administration, and timely insulin management are built into each resident’s care plan, and nurses communicate changes promptly to physicians to help keep residents’ levels stable.
In addition to skilled nursing, the center offers rehabilitation therapies, wound care, and assistance with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility. Medication management is handled on site, and the staff coordinates with outside specialists when residents need additional diagnostics or treatments. Regular care conferences keep families informed about progress and any adjustments to care plans.
Living accommodations range from private to companion rooms, each designed to support mobility equipment and emergency call systems, although not every room includes all features. Residents have access to maintained outdoor areas, including Midwest Village, the Nicholas Conservatory, and Anderson Gardens, giving them options for fresh air and planned outdoor programs when medically appropriate.
Meals are provided three times a day, and menus are developed to accommodate physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents managing diabetes. Staff monitor intake and can adjust portion sizes or meal composition to align with individual health goals and nutritional guidelines.
Residents can take part in on-site programming held in the facility’s activity center, which hosts structured events, exercise sessions, and social gatherings that are adapted to differing levels of mobility and cognitive ability.
