Long Term Skilled Nursing Care

Nestled in a garden perfect setting on the Providence Place grounds, the four separate houses making up Mary’s Meadow offer dignified living situations that guarantee the individuals living there the priceless luxuries of personal privacy and space. Along with private rooms and baths, there is the professionalism and competency of a licensed nursing staff plus the added support of an entirely new type of staff known as “elder assistants.” The role of elder assistants, who place the individual at the center of all decision-making, is a key concept of this exciting model. Trained as certified nursing assistants, with extensive, additional, specialized training, they are equipped with the sensitivity and insight needed to position those they assist at the center of their own care.

Elder assistants encourage and support the individual’s involvement—to the extent that they are able—in their own meal planning, preparation, cooking, and after-meal clean up. People living at Mary’s Meadow decide when they would like to eat and have access to the kitchen and the outdoors. They can take charge of their laundry and take part in their own care plan meetings. Best of all, they are not only afforded the dignity of making their own decisions, once made, those decisions are honored.

Each residential home at Mary’s Meadow accommodates 10 people and is individually named for the custom-designed garden located within its lovely inner courtyard. Tastefully decorated with all those well thought out touches and amenities that make a house a home, each house has a spacious entrance foyer, living room, hearth, fully equipped kitchen, dining room, den, bedrooms and baths. And, whether living at Mary’s Meadow as a long term resident needing skilled nursing care, or as a patient needing short term rehabilitation, along with the beautiful accommodations and knowledgeable, caring staff, comes the added benefit of holistic health care.

In receiving integrated, holistic health care, individuals living at Mary’s Meadow are better positioned to regain, and subsequently maintain, their mobility and earlier quality of life—goals more readily achieved when the focus is on the whole person and not solely on physical symptoms. Holistic care is proven to promote deeper relationships for the persons involved, greater physical comfort and enhanced spiritual well being… And it is all here—at Mary’s Meadow.

Short Term Rehabilitation

Mary’s Meadow’s philosophy of dignified and holistic care is also available for people who need the expertise of comprehensive rehabilitation services. Specialized and skilled physical, occupational, speech, language, and restorative therapies are offered to patients, who, for example, are ready for hospital release but not quite ready to return home, especially if they live alone.

In The Woodland, the house dedicated to the short term rehabilitation needs of patients who are post orthopedic or recovering from other types of surgery, stroke or debilitating injury, people receive the individualized, professional therapy they need to do what they most want to do—return home.
