Westwood Center in Bluefield, Virginia, functions as a skilled nursing facility, offering round-the-clock licensed nursing oversight for residents who require a higher level of clinical support. The clinical team coordinates closely with physicians to manage medications, monitor chronic conditions, and provide wound care. A structured Rehabilitation Program is on site, giving residents access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy without leaving the building, which streamlines recovery after surgery, illness, or injury.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the center maintains care planning that involves residents, families, and interdisciplinary staff to set goals and track progress. Care conferences are scheduled at regular intervals so adjustments can be made promptly. In-house lab draws, diagnostic services, and pharmacy delivery reduce the need for off-site appointments, and licensed social workers help arrange any supplemental services that may be needed after discharge or during a longer stay.
Residents live in private or semi-private rooms that are kept climate-controlled, and many—but not all—have wireless internet access, computer access, or immediate entry to outdoor areas. Each room includes basic furnishings, emergency call systems, and housekeeping service. Those who want extra features such as a dedicated computer workstation or direct patio access can discuss availability during the admission process.
Meals are prepared on site three times daily, with menus overseen by a registered dietitian to meet medical and personal dietary requirements. Pureed, mechanical-soft, and therapeutic diets are accommodated, and staff provide assistance for residents who need help with eating. Snacks and beverages are available between meals, and family members may arrange to dine with residents by notifying the kitchen in advance.
The facility supports daily life with a central activity center, a schedule of cultural, educational, and social events, and a library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use. Staff coordinate group programs and one-on-one sessions so residents can stay engaged regardless of mobility level, and transportation is arranged for select off-site events when clinically appropriate.
