We also encourage them to bring items to personalize the room, such as comforters, pictures and other personal items of choice. We welcome questions about specific items you may be considering.

What else should I bring?

We recommend that you have a 5 - 7 day supply of comfortable, seasonly appropriate clothing and shoes. Basic toiletries are provided but you may want to bring your own.

Small pets are permitted to visit if certain criteria are met. Please contact us to learn more.

Are there in-house doctors?

We have two Medical Directors and several Attending Physicians that visit on a regular basis. If your community physician would like to follow your care while in skilled nursing, that is permissible. If not, we can assist in assigning you a physician during your stay and return you to your physician upon discharge.

How are skilled nursing centers regulated?

Skilled nursing centers are licensed by the state of Ohio and federally certified to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
