Residential Healthcare Facility

Helping residents feel at home

A cat pads softly down the hall...vegetables grow on the patio...

If this sounds a little like home, that's because it is! Rome Memorial Hospital's Residential Healthcare Facility is home to many people who need compassionate assistance with their activities of daily life.

While delivering quality long-term skilled nursing care, the 80-bed facility provides the comforts of home. Residents are encouraged to make their rooms their own. Pictures of children and grandchildren adorn the walls. Many residents bring other furnishings and mementos to really create a home-like atmosphere.

The facility also has pets to brighten the lives of its residents. Cats roam freely through the third floor stopping by to visit anyone they think needs a little extra attention. Birds and an aquarium filled with fish complete the menagerie. In addition, family members are welcome to bring the residents' pets in for an occasional visit.

Keeping residents as active as possible is an important part of the facility's philosophy. Residents are provided with the necessary equipment to allow the most mobility.

In addition, the activity director works diligently to provide opportunities for the residents to sty active.

She plans discussions, music and exercise programs, as well as outings, celebrations, and cooking programs.

Rome Memorial Hospital's third floor is also home to its sub-acute rehabilitation program for patients who need physical, occupational and/or speech therapy to help them regain their independence so they can go home.

Contact the Social Services Department at (315) 338-7063 for assistance with the admission process, or to schedule a tour.
