Edgewood Manor Nursing Center Announces
Grand Opening of Transitional Living Unit

Edgewood Manor Nursing Center is pleased to announce the opening of a Transitional Living Unit – a careful evaluation process for rehabilitative patients to ensure readiness for discharge to home. The Transitional Living Unit compliments the facility’s Homeward Bound Program, a program for rehabilitative patients with specific therapy needs with the goal of returning home. Edgewood has rehabilitated 14 residents so far this year and they were able to return home safely and with confidence.

The Transitional Living Unit is a beautiful, apartment-like setting complete with a full-sized bed, dining table, and private bath. It also has many comforts of home such as a microwave, mini-fridge and dinner ware. “It is our goal to ensure our residents can independently function in our Transitional Living Unit.” said Kaye Lipstraw, Director of Nursing. “The unit builds confidence and also allows us to address any areas of weakness prior to the residents return home,” Lipstraw added.

While residents are preparing for their return home, the facility encourages family members to stay with their resident in the unit. This allows the family to see first hand the capabilities of their loved one and they are involved in each step of the process of getting ready to return home.

For further details or to view the Transitional Living Unit, please call Edgewood Manor at 419-734-5506.
