Spring Oaks Nursing & Rehabilitation

At Spring Oaks Nursing & Rehabilitation we offer three kinds of services:

Transitional Care - a short term recovery stay to get you back home safely
Our Long Term Care – for maximum independence and quality of life

Respite Care – a short term stay when a full time care taker cannot be available

Our Safe Transition Home Program

When you are faced with a hospitalization due to an injury, illness or a surgery, all you can think about is getting better and returning home.   Here at Spring Oaks Nursing & Rehabilitation we offer all the advanced, post hospital services that you will need to make this possible.   We are different because you will be directly involved in the development of your individual Safe Transition Home Program as our team of experts provide the guidance, support, and all the treatment  options you will need to be successful.  The qualified professionals on your care plan team include:  your physicians and/or nurse practitioner,  registered and licensed vocational nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapist, (and if needed speech therapist), a dietician, dietary staff,  social worker, certified nurse’s aides, recreation staff, consulting pharmacist, and other supportive staff members.

To Begin Your Safe Transition Home Program

Call us today and we will work with your Physician and the Hospital Discharge Planners/Case Manager or other care providers to arrange your care coordination transition and prepare for your arrival.  We will meet with you and your family and answer all your questions and help you through this difficult time.  Your physician will provide all the initial instructions for your care and then we meet to set your specific Transitional Care goals and establish your individual care plan.   Once the plan is established, we both get to work.  You will have a far better chance to recover if you are fully informed of your care options and sign off on your own recovery plan.

Your Safe Transition Plan Back Home

When the time comes to go home, we help you arrange a gentle step back home.  We will help you organize the support services needed such as Home Care, Equipment, Outpatient or Home Therapy,   Technical Safety Options, and Physician follow-up to assure a safe and successful transition back home.  It is our goal to provide the support and education you need to assure you do not require re-admission to the hospital.

• Surgery Recovery
• Joint/Hip replacement or other orthopedic injuries

Our Long Term Care

Here at Spring Oaks Nursing & Rehabilitation we also offer long term skilled nursing for those who cannot return to a lesser level of care and need the full, 24 hour support to maintain an optimal level of independence and quality of life.   Our long term program continues to put our residents; and/or family members in the center of their care plan; but the goals are designed to improve quality of life while managing the various conditions and diseases that are present.   To do this, we have a full program that includes:

• Private or semi-private rooms

Finding the Right Assisted Living Facility

Choosing the right assisted living facility is hard. There are multiple assisted living facilities all over the Cleveland area. Some specialize in Alzheimer's and dementia, some specialize in rehabilitation with the focus on returning home, and others focus on independent living with minimal help. So how do you know which facility is right for you or your loved one?

The following are a few tips, resources, and people you can ask to make sure that you are making the right choice when it comes to choosing an assisted living facility.

1. Unbiased reviews. Searching online for reviews can pull up a lot of results for reviews on assisted living facilities. Some of these reviews might not always be unbiased. Make sure that the reviews you are reading are from an unbiased source. There are groups and even an ombudsman that can give you unbiased reviews of assisted living facilities to help you make that choice.

2. Physically Visit the Center. Never just go based off of reviews. Physically visit the center, preferably during visiting hours and unannounced. This allows you to get a feel for the facility, the atmosphere, and observe how the workers and patients interact. These are all items that can play a huge factor in choosing an assisted living center and it's best to observe these things in person.

3. Work Closely with your Doctor and the Center. Once you have it narrowed down to a handful of assisted living centers consider sitting down with your doctor and discussing the choice. He might have knowledge of some of the centers, how they work, and what they specialize in. Your doctor will know which centers will work best for what health conditions you might be suffering from or which will work best for rehabilitation purposes.
