Overview of Woodcrest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

An outdoor bird sanctuary occupies part of the grounds at Woodcrest Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. A salon operates inside, and social outings are scheduled on the calendar. Dressing changes on a fixed schedule are the sort of thing nobody at home reliably keeps up. Short-term rehabilitation covers that work until the wound closes. Palliative care is not the same as hospice. Comfort and symptom relief run at the same time as treatment, rather than replacing it.

Some families book respite the same weeks each year: a week in July and another week in December, so rest is written into the caregiving calendar.

Nursing coverage draws 3 hours and 21 minutes per resident each day across 127 beds. Licensed nurses are on the floor from the last visitor leaving to the time breakfast is served and any time in between.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Woodcrest Operating Company operates the community, with Jeffrey Weiner as administrator.
