WrMC is groWing by the dAy

Everyone who drives past Western Reserve Masonic Community (WRMC) is amazed at the progress happening with the expansion project. The first goal was to complete the Community Center and it’s now complete!

The next big goal in the WRMC expansion is the healthcare center, and they’re making great progress. The building is under roof and the construction is being closely watched by the community members. If construction continues at the current pace, the healthcare center will open in early 2023. Fifty state-of-the-art private suites are a comfort to the community members because they know that if their health changes, they can receive rehab or long-term care without needing to move to a new location. These suites will be larger, making their stay more comfortable. The rooms will all have computers too, which will provide for better staff efficiency and patient care.

The healthcare center will have short-term rehabilitation, as well as long-term skilled nursing and memory care. These services will be available to community members at Western Reserve Masonic Community, as well people being released from local hospitals. A new offering in short-term rehab will be for people who have just been released from bariatric surgery. After bariatric surgery, physical therapy regimens are suggested to include cardio-aerobic exercise to strengthen the heart and lungs as well as to increase bone density. Strength training is another suggestion to maintain muscle mass and to keep the bones strong. Plus, staying active is a good way to speed the recovery process. WRMC will be able to help with this process following procedures like bariatric surgery.

The memory care area will be divided into separate “neighborhoods.” Each neighborhood will have its own dining room, and the meals will be cooked to order. Do you ever wake up and feel hungry? What if it’s 2:00 AM? That doesn’t matter at WRMC. With the dining program, the staff will see that you get what you need or want at any hour of the day or night. You won’t find that type of care anywhere else.

Watch for more updates on how the WRMC healthcare center is progressing and can benefit you and your loved ones. This will bring exciting new health care options to the greater Medina area.
