Ashton Medical Lodge in Midland operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight for individuals who need ongoing medical supervision. Residents have access to post-acute rehabilitation, wound management, IV therapy, pain control, and complex medication management coordinated by registered nurses and consulting physicians. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work on-site to help residents regain mobility, strength, and communication skills after illness or surgery, while certified nursing assistants support daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and mobility transfers.
Additional clinical resources include regularly scheduled physician visits, on-call medical staff, and electronic health record systems that track vital signs and lab results in real time. A secure medication administration process, fall-prevention protocols, and emergency call systems in resident rooms further reinforce safety. Discharge planners and social workers coordinate with hospitals and families to create individualized recovery goals and transition plans, ensuring continuity of care whether a resident is returning home or moving to another level of support.
Accommodations at the lodge include a mix of private and semiprivate rooms, each furnished with basic bedroom furniture, individual climate controls, and an ensuite or nearby bathroom, depending on the layout. Cable television, Wi-Fi access, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry services are available, though not every room offers the same combination of features. Residents may personalize their spaces with familiar items as long as the additions meet safety guidelines.
Three daily meals are prepared on-site under the guidance of a registered dietitian, and menus are designed to support therapeutic diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft plans. Meals are served in a communal dining room where staff are present to assist with portioning or adaptive utensils, and room-service meal delivery is arranged for residents who need or prefer to dine in their rooms. Nutritious snacks are available throughout the day, and hydration rounds help ensure residents maintain adequate fluid intake.
