Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation
Each person who receives rehabilitation services through our Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at West Park has a care plan tailored to their situation and goals. The plan is based on an assessment upon admission, your abilities and your input. You’ll work with an interdisciplinary team, including your physician and our therapists, to maximize your recovery.
Our comprehensive therapy services include physical, occupational and speech therapy. Throughout your stay, our medical team works with you and your family to provide the tools and education you need to be self-sufficient and successful once you return home.
Those with managed care insurance plans may have coverage for a skilled nursing and rehabilitation stay at one of our communities. It’s best to contact your insurance provider directly for those details, but we can also help you navigate your benefits.
If you are considering or have scheduled surgery and would like to plan for your recovery needs, we recommend making a pre-surgery reservation. This will provide you with peace of mind that you’re prepared for both your surgery and recovery. There is no financial obligation should your surgery be canceled or postponed.

Respite Care
Respite care can be defined as a short-term stay for a loved one to allow a respite, or recovery time, for the caregiver. Some of the reasons a caregiver might seek a respite care stay for their loved one include a planned surgery, vacation or needed time to manage their stress and personal health and well-being.
Respite Care at West Park offers short-term stays that can vary from a few days to a few weeks. We provide furnished respite suites with access to a nursing team 24 hours a day, which includes a personalized plan of care.
Respite-stay guests at West Park receive the same patient-directed care as our residents. This includes a compassionate interdisciplinary team that ensures their individual needs are met as well as access to numerous services, activities and amenities.
It’s typically best to plan ahead for a respite care stay, but we understand that it’s not always possible. If an urgent need arises, feel free to contact us to check our availability.
Dining
In addition to a seasonal menu, we offer alternative menu selections and made-from-scratch dishes to tempt your taste buds. This gives you control and autonomy over the food you choose to eat and provides you with many delicious options.
Registered and licensed dietitians work together with our dining services manager to assure that, when needed, therapeutic diets are planned and served properly. We’re committed to ensuring that time spent in the dining room is dignified, comfortable and pleasant. Tables are set in a familiar way and plates are removed from their delivery trays upon arrival. The timing of breakfast occurs when the resident wakes up and is ready to eat.
