Green Ridge Care Center in Scranton operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing-home care. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, supported by attending physicians who oversee each resident’s treatment plan. The center handles complex medical needs such as post-surgical recovery, wound management, IV therapy, pain control, and medication administration. Respiratory care and fall-prevention programs are also available to help stabilize residents with high-acuity conditions.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the facility provides on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy aimed at restoring mobility and daily-living skills. Social services staff coordinate discharge planning, arrange follow-up appointments, and help residents access community resources. A pharmacy service manages prescriptions, while diagnostic labs and imaging partners visit regularly to reduce outside travel. Scheduled transportation can be arranged for dialysis, specialist visits, and other off-site medical needs. Residents benefit from a secure setting with electronic call systems and regular safety checks.
Accommodations at Green Ridge include a mix of private and shared rooms that come furnished with adjustable beds, basic cabinetry, and individual climate controls. Each room is fitted with an emergency call device, and housekeeping handles routine cleaning and laundry service. Cable television and telephone hookups are available in many—but not all—rooms, and families can bring approved personal items to make the space more comfortable. Bathrooms may be shared or private depending on the unit, and some rooms offer roll-in showers to support residents with limited mobility.
Dining services provide three nutritionally balanced meals daily, prepared under the guidance of a registered dietitian who accommodates physician-ordered therapeutic and texture-modified diets. Meals are generally served in a central dining room where staff are present to assist residents who need help with eating, though tray service to the room can be arranged when a resident is ill or prefers privacy. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals, and guests can purchase meal vouchers to dine with residents. The culinary team regularly seeks feedback to adjust menus to individual tastes and medical requirements.
