Snyder Nursing Home in Salem, VA provides around-the-clock skilled nursing care for residents who need continuous medical oversight. Licensed nurses monitor vital signs, manage medications, perform wound care, and coordinate directly with attending physicians. The facility maintains access to on-site or on-call specialists for physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and it arranges laboratory work and diagnostic imaging as needed. A structured care plan is developed for each resident shortly after admission and is updated regularly to reflect changes in health status.
Beyond the clinical services, Snyder Nursing Home supplies daily support with bathing, dressing, toileting, and mobility. Staff members receive regular training in fall prevention, infection control, and emergency response. Social services personnel assist families with care conferences and discharge planning, while a restorative nursing program encourages residents to maintain or regain functional abilities. Short-term respite and hospice services are available, and the facility coordinates transportation for off-site medical appointments when required.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms, each designed for wheelchair access and equipped with an emergency call system. Bathrooms feature grab bars and non-slip flooring, and housekeeping services keep living areas clean. Some rooms open onto secure outdoor areas such as a courtyard or patio, giving residents the option to spend time outside when medically appropriate, though not every room has direct outdoor access.
Meals are prepared on site under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Three set meal times are offered daily, with menus that can be adjusted for diabetic, cardiac, renal, or other medically prescribed diets. Residents who need adaptive utensils or texture-modified foods receive them automatically, and staff are available to provide eating assistance. Snacks and hydration stations are stocked throughout the day, and room-service trays are delivered when a resident’s health makes leaving the room inadvisable.
