Resident-Centered Nursing
As one of the top 3% of nursing homes in the U.S. committed to resident-driven care, the emphasis of the nursing department at The Edgewood Centre is on the whole person.
Beginning on the day of admission, the resident and family are welcomed by a group of professionals who begin to develop a personalized plan of care to meet individual needs and preferences.
Do you prefer to get up early in the morning or have breakfast in bed? Do you like to eat eggs, bacon, and pancakes or fresh fruit and granola for breakfast? Would you rather take a whirlpool bath or a long, hot shower?
The goal of Edgewood’s nursing team is not only to provide skilled, professional medical services, but also to meet and exceed the personal care needs and expectations of each resident.

Restorative Care
Rehabilitation therapists in Edgewood’s restorative care program work with residents on ambulation skills, strengthening exercises, and flexibility.
They are dedicated to helping each resident maximize his or her level of independence and mobility. The specialized attention residents receive through this program is a bonus and one we feel is truly worth the investment of time and energy.
