Benefit from restorative therapy, a combined approach to recovery.

Available to both short-term and long-term residents, restorative therapy is a combination of rehabilitation and nursing skills and includes range of motion exercises, walking, stretching and assistance with activities of daily living. This program helps residents retain their level of functioning, restore their independence and enhance their quality of life. A designated trained professional, in close coordination with the registered nurse assigned to the resident, delivers the resident's program, provides their care and monitors their progression. Oversight is provided by the Nursing Director and close communication is maintained with the rehabilitation department to ensure optimal goals are reached for each resident.

Relieve a family caregiver from their responsibilities by receiving temporary care from our skilled nursing team.

Even with current daytime support in the form of home assistance or adult day programs, many families still have overnight responsibilities for their loved one that prevents them from ever really getting a break. Dove Healthcare's respite care program allows family caregivers a well-deserved rest, vacation, and time to take care of themselves. Gain peace of mind, knowing your loved one is comfortable in a private room and receiving excellent care in a warm, respectful environment.

For more information about respite care, contact Cassie Chrystal, Admissions Coordinator, at 715-552-1035, ext. 731. Learn more about admissions.

Pharmacy

Your pharmacy needs will be managed by our nursing department during your stay. We work directly with your primary physician to ensure your medication regimen is both safe and effective. Our pharmacy consultant conducts regular safety reviews of your medications.

Nurse Call System

At the touch of a button, you will feel confident knowing our caregivers have been immediately informed of your request for assistance. Through our advanced nurse call system, our caregivers are notified of every resident's need in the order in which each call was placed. We have streamlined the process through the integration of wireless phones and pagers that receive a message for every call based on pre-set priority and timed levels.

Touch Screens

Point of care touch screens allow our caregivers to efficiently document care immediately after it has been provided to you. The screens are strategically located throughout our neighborhood hallways and dining rooms. Most importantly, this technology increases the amount of time our caregivers can spend with you.
