Salem Health & Rehabilitation in Salem, VA is a nursing-home community that delivers 24-hour skilled nursing care. Licensed nurses monitor vital signs, manage medications, perform wound care, coordinate IV therapy, and oversee post-operative recovery plans. The on-site medical team works closely with attending physicians to adjust treatment goals, order diagnostic tests, and respond to changes in a resident’s condition without delay.

Complementing these clinical services, the facility offers in-house physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as respiratory support when prescribed. A full-time social services staff helps residents and families navigate care plans, discharge planning, and insurance matters. Additional features include pharmacy coordination, routine lab and imaging arrangements, dental and podiatry visits, and scheduled transportation to outside specialist appointments, ensuring continuity of treatment.

Resident accommodations include a choice of private and semi-private rooms. Each room is furnished with an adjustable hospital bed, bedside storage, and an emergency call system, while select rooms add individual climate controls, in-room showers, and cable television. Housekeeping, laundry service, and maintenance are provided, and wireless internet is available in common areas and most rooms. Not all accommodations have every feature, so it is useful to review room layouts during a visit.

Meals are prepared on-site and served three times daily in a communal dining room, with tray service offered for residents who need or prefer to eat in their rooms. A registered dietitian designs menus that meet nutritional guidelines and supports physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft options.
