Lima Memorial Transitional Care is a skilled nursing facility located in Lima, Ohio, providing nursing home care services within the Lima Memorial Health System. Certified by Medicare since February 11, 1993, the facility is situated within a hospital, offering residents a continuity of care with direct access to extensive medical services. With a current occupancy of 11 residents, Lima Memorial Transitional Care aims to provide comprehensive healthcare and support services to meet the various needs of its occupants.
The facility offers an array of care services including vision and dental care, which cater to the routine health requirements of its residents. Medical services such as wound care and peritoneal dialysis are available, although reviews highlight serious concerns about the quality of care in the Dialysis Center, with issues noted in patient treatment and staff professionalism. Ancillary services like occupational, physical, and speech therapies are part of the rehabilitative care provided to enhance residents' quality of life and independence. Respite care is also offered, providing temporary relief for caregivers. Amenities within the facility include a barber/beauty salon, enhancing the everyday living experience of residents.
Despite the range of services available, family and resident reviews of the Dialysis Center indicate substantial dissatisfaction with the care environment, citing issues with uncaring behavior and lack of individualized attention. Instances of staff discussing patient care within earshot and a dismissive approach to patient concerns contribute to an atmosphere perceived as lacking in dignity and respect. Efforts to resolve these matters with the facility's administration have been reportedly ineffective, prompting suggestions for complaints to be directed to external accreditation bodies to ensure appropriate intervention and improvement.
