We have a wonderful dietary staff that loves to cook. We are known for our home cooked meals, such as pork bbq, chicken & dumplings, and vegetable soup. Our staff enjoys following the fish philosophy. They have fun and get their jobs done. They take time out with all residents to ensure each and every need is met. They enjoy trying new recopies. Each resident is also monitored by a registered dietician. We have a private dining room for those residents who enjoy talking to their friends. Our regular dining room has a panoramic view or our mountains. Our residents enjoy eating our home cooked meals while enjoying the view.

Looking and feeling good about yourself is what our onsite beauty salon provides to all our residents. We offer haircuts, perms, coloring, and lots more. Lots of smiles after a day at the salon with registered beautician Carolyn McMullen.

Carolyn has 46 years of experience in the Bath County area and provides personal service to our residents. Carolyn is here every Tuesday and if needed will come in an extra day. All appointments need to be made at the front office.

Pets play a large role in the lives of our residents. You will find a number of residents talking among themselves while sitting around our aviary as the birds build their nests, lay their eggs, and hatch their young.

Not to mention the petting zoo that stops by on days when weather permits. Pet therapy works wonders!

Resident councils are held once a month and gives the residents an opportunity to voice their own opinions and concerns in their care.  It also allows them to give ideas for improvements and suggestions for activities.  Every concern is addressed with a write-up by the department to which it pertains.   

We host a variety of activities and events geared toward our residents' lifestyles. We visit with each resident personally to discover their hobbies and areas of interest, and to get to know them better - our goal is enabling each resident to continue living a meaningful and diverse life.

We are very fortunate to have such a great community of volunteers who dedicate their time in helping our residents with group and individual activities. The Springs Nursing Center also welcome family and friends to participate.

Our Director of Social Services ensures we are meeting the social and psychosocial needs of each resident. On admission, we assist with completion of the admission paperwork and provide information pertaining to life here in our community.  We can also assist with applying for insurance benefits and Medicaid, and the Director of Social Services acts as a liaison between community resources and residents when needed.  Care Plan meetings are coordinated with the interdisciplinary team and the resident and/or family members. 

We investigate any grievances or complaints and follow up with the individual filing the grievance.  This department can purchase personal items for residents whose families live out-of-area or request that we shop for various resident needs.  We coordinate discharge planning with all residents, beginning at the time of admission.  This includes presenting alternatives and community resources that are available at the time of discharge. 

We strive to involve each resident in his or her individual care planning needs.  The Social Services department also in-services staff on resident abuse, resident rights, and confidentiality.

We provide our residents with monthly outings to Wal-mart, lunch at a favorite restaurant, a visit to the local ice cream shop, or a ride through the country to see the beautiful mountains.
