Skilled Nursing Care

Salem Lutheran Homes has been an area leader in providing Medicare-approved skilled nursing services since 1989. 

Salem has an excellent reputation for extraordinary care.  It comes from paying close attention to our residents and to the concerns and questions of their families.  Our home offers both long-term and short-term care.  Short term care is for those who require rehabilitation following hospitalization. 

A variety of post surgical and individualized care programs are available including post-stroke, post total joint replacement, specialized skin and wound care, dysphasia (swallowing therapy) pain management, IV therapy, other therapy services and home evaluation.  For more information see Therapies.

Long term care is for those who need round-the-clock assistance, medical attention or security.  Our special care unit provides specialized care for those with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments.

When a resident does not meet the criteria for skilled care they are admitted to the intermediate level of care.
