Skilled Nursing

 

The Evergreen Health Center is a 108-bed licensed Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility consisting of three areas - The Post Surgical and Rehab Center at Manor View, Creekview North and Creekview South


The Post Surgical and Rehab Center at Manor View provides care for 28 residents whose needs are focused primarily on short-term rehabilitative therapies. 

See more information about the recently completed Post Surgical and Rehab Center at Manor View renovation project.


Creekview North provides care for 36 residents and Creekview South provides care for 44 residents.  Both offer a nationally recognized innovative approach to long-term skilled nursing care. Each area contains four individual households that provide an appealing homelike neighborhood setting.


The entire Health Center is Medicare-certified, is designed for residents who need ongoing skilled nursing care, and is staffed by nurses and certified nursing assistants 24 hours per day. Day and evening resident to nursing assistant staff ratio is 7:1. Overnight ratio is approximately 16:1. In addition, other staff members may include Social Services Specialists, Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants, and unit clerks.

 

While all staff members provide emotional support when needed, skilled counseling by social workers is available to residents and their families. A special support group is also available to families of residents with Alzheimer’s disease. Nurses have special advanced end-of-life training to better equip them to care for hospice residents.


Seventy Health Center rooms are private and 19 are semi-private. All rooms have a half-bath. Each area includes a dining room and comfortable lounge with a fireplace, an aquarium and aviary. The Post Surgical and Rehab Center at Manor View has a library with books and audio cassettes on loan from the Oshkosh Public Library. Creekview North and Creekview South have play areas for young visitors and fenced-in outdoor courtyards and both are close to Creekview Center and Creekview Café.

 

Health Center residents are encouraged to participate in activities appropriate to their abilities and are welcome to attend facility-wide events. For residents unable to participate in groups, staff members provide individualized interaction. In addition, Health Center residents can participate on the Residents Council or other committees, volunteer their talents, and interact with children of many ages through planned activities.
