Palace Care and Rehab
Combining the best of yesterday and today by preserving our heritage and
The founders of Palace Care and Rehab were visionaries who seemed to know what people would need and want as they age. The three large porches offer outdoor environments that are greatly used by residents and their visitors. The front porch overlooks The Palace Park and Salt Lick Creek. It is not unusual to see visitors just dropping by as they drive by as the front porch is so inviting. Others may prefer the more secluded, enclosed courtyard that is located on the south side. This area is available for private picnics and gatherings.
One of the most charming aspects of the building itself is the large lobby and dining room. With its soaring windows, light floods the area which is a favorite of those who gather to visit with guests, keep an eye on the baby birds in the aviary, check out the aquarium or listen to a pianist. It’s also a preferred location for simple people watching.
The Palace is one of the few facilities in the state that offers many private rooms with private bath, another forethought of the founders. Private rooms are rare in today’s long term care facilities and Palace Care and Rehab is pleased to offer such accommodations. The facility is a warm, inviting residence staffed with experienced and compassionate caregivers. We encourage those those who may be considering longer care or are in need of rehabilitation services to drop by or schedule a tour by contacting: Mary Brawelll A licensed administrator manages all aspects of the facility.

Physical therapy is available for a broad range of conditions that require this service. These may include treatment for a short-term acute condition such as a fractured hip or for decline in functioning brought on by an illness such as pneumonia. There are many other ailments that may require therapy. Occupational therapy is available for those residents who are experiencing a decline in the ability to use or control the upper portion of their bodies. A resident recovering from a stroke may require special attention in order to be able to feed themselves again. Like physical therapy, occupational therapy covers a broad range of conditions. Speech and swallowing therapy are also available. An emphasis on speech may be required for a person recovering from a stroke, head injury or one of many other conditions resulting in difficulty speaking. A speech therapist is also trained to identify and treat swallowing difficulties and for decline in mental status that may affect a resident’s ability to eat. Restorative nursing services are available for residents who no
longer meet the criteria for rehabilitation service. This program is provided by
a team of nursing employees who have been trained in care that prevents decline
in functional skills when a person has been discharged from therapy services.
