Tyler's Retreat at Iron Bridge in Chester, Virginia, functions primarily as a skilled nursing facility. Residents have access to 24-hour licensed nursing oversight, routine physician visits, medication management, wound care, IV therapy, post-surgical recovery, and physical, occupational, and speech rehabilitation. Care plans are individualized and updated regularly, with interdisciplinary teams coordinating services to address both chronic conditions and short-term recovery goals.
Beyond the core medical services, the facility supports hospice coordination, respite stays, and fall-prevention programs. An on-site pharmacy service streamlines prescription refills and adjustments, while laboratory and diagnostic services are arranged as needed. Transportation to external medical appointments is available, and an emergency call system is installed throughout resident areas to ensure rapid response times.
Accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with basic furnishings, adjustable beds, and barrier-free bathrooms; some but not all rooms offer features such as in-room climate controls, cable television, or Wi-Fi. Housekeeping, linen changes, and personal laundry are provided on a regular schedule. Common areas include lounges, activity rooms, and secured outdoor spaces where residents can spend supervised time.
Dining services supply three daily meals plus snacks, all planned by a registered dietitian to meet nutritional guidelines and specialized dietary needs such as low-sodium, diabetic, or pureed textures. Meals are typically served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service to resident rooms is an option when health status requires it. Adaptive utensils and staff assistance are available for residents who need help with eating, and menu feedback is routinely gathered to adjust offerings.
