Shenandoah Nursing and Rehab is a skilled nursing facility designed for residents who need 24-hour clinical oversight. The community’s primary service is long-term nursing home care, but it also offers dedicated respite and short-term rehabilitation stays for families who need temporary support. A structured program of physical therapy helps residents regain mobility after surgery, illness, or injury, and on-site speech therapy addresses communication or swallowing issues. For individuals managing diabetes, the staff provides routine glucose monitoring, medication administration, and diet coordination to keep blood sugar levels within doctor-recommended ranges.
Medical care is reinforced by regular physician visits and close coordination with hospitals and specialists in the Fishersville area. Nurses monitor vital signs, manage medications, and carry out care plans developed with each resident’s doctor. Residents admitted for respite benefit from the same clinical services as long-term residents, ensuring continuity of care whether the stay is a few days or several weeks. Therapy staff document progress and communicate results to physicians, allowing adjustments to be made quickly when a resident’s condition changes.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, and many feature wheelchair-accessible showers, individual climate controls, cable television, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Several rooms open toward landscaped outdoor areas for fresh air and easy access to walking paths, while others are closer to therapy gyms or nursing stations for added convenience. A piano is located in a common lounge for resident use or visiting entertainers. Because room configurations vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families are encouraged to confirm individual room details during a tour.
Dining services provide three meals each day, with guest meals available for visiting family members. The kitchen can prepare specialized menus such as gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar options to meet physician-ordered dietary plans. Staff monitor nutritional intake and coordinate with nursing staff for residents who require modified textures or calorie-controlled meals. Snacks and beverages are offered between meals, and residents who need assistance with eating receive one-on-one support.
An on-site activity center schedules daily programs that range from live music performances and birthday celebrations to computer classes in the library and lounge area. Organized clubs foster shared interests, while regular social outings keep residents connected to the broader Fishersville community.
