overview
Idylwood Care Center focuses on long-term care and rehabilitation services for individuals diagnosed with concurrent medical and neurological conditions. We fill the tremendous void in services for residents with concurrent diagnoses, many of whom struggle in long term placements.
Our staff also strongly believes in the therapeutic power of the sights and smells that emanate from the family kitchen. The celebration of gardening, food-preparation, cooking and enjoyment is a core component of our recovery activities. Residents are encouraged to participate in our cooking classes and share their traditional family recipes to be used in our annual resident cookbook. You will frequently encounter the smell of fresh cookies or soup wafting through our facility and see abundant vegetables growing in our gardens.
program
Our interdisciplinary staff focuses on resident's individual needs, providing a seamless range of medical, behavioral and therapeutic care. Our treatment team includes a physician, a psychiatrist, nurses, dieticians, social workers, occupational therapists and horticulture therapists. This comprehensive team meets weekly to discuss each resident's progress and treatment options, ensuring the most thorough, individualized care possible. We provide a flexible approach to care, looking to accommodate residents' individual requests, whenever possible. |
