Getting Started

Who should I call to get started?

Please give us a call and ask to speak with Admissions. We will be happy to answer your questions, learn more about your needs, and introduce you to our skilled nursing facility team.

Can I bring personal clothing and belongings?

We recommend approximately five changes of clothing and a pair of comfortable rubber-soled shoes. All articles should be washed and clearly labeled with the resident’s name in permanent ink. These items will be entered into the patient’s inventory log. Other personal items should be marked or engraved for identification. We advise that residents do not keep valuable jewelry or large amounts of cash in the facility. We encourage you to bring personal items such as family photos, blankets, decorative items, and anything that will help make your stay more comfortable.

Do I need to bring my medications?

No, you do not need to bring your own medications unless specifically told to do so. Upon admission, we will order your medications using our off-site, local pharmacy, then securely store them on-site to ensure safety. We partner with a local pharmacy so that we can fill your prescriptions quickly.

How do I start the admissions process?

Contact our team to discuss availability, care needs, and the admissions process. We can help answer skilled nursing facility questions and explain what documentation may be needed to get started.

Healthcare Services

Does North Royalton offer rehabilitation?

Yes. At North Royalton Post Acute, your successful recovery and quick return home is our top priority. We provide a unique personalized experience whether you’re suffering from an illness or recovering from a major medical event. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy is conducted under the guidance of licensed experts and is available seven days a week.

When will the doctor see me?

Physicians typically visit patients within 24 hours of admission. Your nurse will communicate any medical concerns with your doctor before and after they see you to ensure that we are able to provide accurate and comprehensive care.

How often will I have therapy?

The frequency of therapy depends on a variety of factors, and every patient’s needs and tolerance for rehabilitation and therapy are different. Most patients, depending on their condition and when they are admitted, will start rehab within 24 hours of admission and will receive therapy five to seven times per week.

How long is a typical stay?

Each case is unique, and each patient has a different journey here. Patient progress is reviewed weekly by our interdisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, and dietitians. Our main goal is for you to reach your highest level of independence quickly and safely.

How is laundry taken care of?

Should you wish to have your laundry washed by us, please notify the front office upon admission. If a family member/caregiver is going to take care of the laundry at home, please let the nursing station know your plans so our housekeeping staff knows to leave the clothing for family pick up. We request that the family provides a hamper for clothes and pick it up twice a week. 

All personal clothing is washed in an industrial washing machine at a temperature of 180 degrees. Make sure your loved ones’ clothing is appropriate for washing and drying in these hot temperatures. Avoid bringing clothing that requires cold or warm water, special care, or is subject to damage and fading. Please label the clothing with the resident’s name, NOT the room number or initials. Mark clearly and in large letters on the inside neckline or waistband. All clothing items must be marked, including socks, shoes, and other personal items.

Will I be able to get haircuts?

Yes, we have an in-house beauty shop.

What role does Social Services play?

Our social services team assists both residents and their families during transitional periods. They also provide essential information, manage requests and concerns, and help in care and discharge planning for each resident. They can arrange professional services for Dental, Vision, Podiatry, Audiology, Power of Attorney, Dementia assessment, Psychosocial and Psychiatric Evaluation, and individual therapy.
