When a loved one needs skilled nursing care, families are often faced with hard questions and important decisions. Where can we find quality care? Will they feel comfortable? What happens if their needs change again?

At Meth-Wick Community, skilled nursing is included in the five styles of living, all offered on one campus as part of our life plan model. That means residents can move into skilled care without leaving the familiar environment they already know and trust. And those joining us for the first time experience the same compassionate, connected care from the very beginning.

This level of continuity makes a meaningful difference for both residents and their families.

A Focus on the Individual, Not Just the Illness

At Meth-Wick’s health center, The Woodlands, every resident receives a personalized care plan. These plans are developed in partnership with nurses, therapists, physicians, and family members. Whether someone is recovering from surgery or living with a long-term condition, our team is here to help each resident achieve their best possible quality of life.

Our care model is person-centered. That means we look beyond the medical diagnosis to consider each individual’s goals, preferences, and routines. For many residents, that includes short-term rehabilitation designed to help them recover and return to their previous level of independence. Learn more about this approach in our article, Rehabilitation with Skilled Nursing Care.

For those who need ongoing support, our team becomes a trusted presence, offering not only expert care but meaningful companionship.

Designed to Feel Like Home

What makes nursing and skilled care at Meth-Wick different is not only the quality of care, but also the comfortable environment. The Woodlands is designed to feel warm and welcoming for residents and their families. Residents have private rooms and are encouraged to bring personal touches such as favorite photos, a cherished chair, or cozy blankets. This home-like atmosphere helps ease the transition into nursing care and promotes emotional well-being, which can directly support healing and comfort.

Seamless Transitions Within One Community

Because Meth-Wick is a life plan community, residents do not have to leave campus when their health needs change. If someone begins their journey in independent or assisted living, they can transition to nursing care within the Meth-Wick community.

This is especially valuable for couples. When one person needs a higher level of care, they can still remain close to their spouse and friends. Families appreciate the stability and consistency this brings during what is often a stressful time.

The Benefit of Being Part of Something Bigger

Skilled care at Meth-Wick is supported by more than just a medical team. It is part of a community that includes wellness programs, dining services, spiritual care, and social activities. That means residents in skilled care are still part of a vibrant, active campus. Our approach to care has always been built on the belief that support should adapt to the individual, not the other way around.
