Established in the late 1960s as a 40-bed unit of Warren Memorial Hospital and re-established for long-term care in the late 1970s, Lynn Care Center remains dedicated to providing quality care for long-term residents and for patients who need post-hospital rehabilitation and skilled nursing care.

The exterior of Lynn Care is designed to look like a private home, with accessible outdoor gardens and porches. Inside the building, we’ve used indoor plants, aviaries, aquariums and artwork to create peaceful and engaging living spaces. These elements add warmth, color and vitality and make living in Lynn Care more like living at home.

The 96-bed long-term nursing area includes a 26-bed memory support unit (Shenandoah Gardens) for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. The unit has a secure wander garden that allows those residents to go outside safely and remain within the facility grounds. Another part of the long-term nursing facility is Park Lane, an exclusive unit with six private rooms, each with its own private bath, including shower. This unit features an intimate dining room and private sitting area. A nurse is on duty in Park Lane 24 hours a day just to care for these six residents.

Blue Ridge Terrace is a 24-bed unit for short-stay patients who need post-hospital skilled nursing care or rehabilitation services including physical, occupational and speech therapy related to conditions such as stroke, arthritis, hip fracture, hip or knee replacement, cardiac disease, pulmonary disease, and diabetes.

Lynn Care Center is accredited by The Joint Commission and is surveyed by the state each year for long-term care certification for Medicare and Medicaid.

As a part of Warren Memorial Hospital, Lynn Care Center’s direct access to the hospital building has many advantages for the residents, including the ease of access to acute medical care for emergencies.

Blue Ridge Terrace – Skilled Care Unit
For admission to the skilled care unit at Lynn Care Center, the patient must have had a hospital stay of three overnights or more in the last 30 days. The individual must need rehabilitation or skilled nursing care that cannot be accommodated at another level of care. An admission for skilled nursing or rehabilitation care is a temporary stay, followed by discharge home or to another facility.

Shenandoah Gardens – Memory Support Unit
The Memory Support Unit at Lynn Care Center is a unique unit for our area. It is designed to allow the person with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia the freedom to move about in a secure environment that extends into an enclosed outdoor garden area.

There are several criteria for admission to this unit:

• A physician’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia is required.
• The person’s condition must be between stages 5 and 7, as evaluated by a nurse in the unit prior to acceptance for admission.
• A differential diagnosis from a psychiatrist, neurologist or a geriatrician is required to ensure that the person has dementia and not an illness that could be reversed with appropriate treatment.
• The person must be mobile and would benefit from being in this type of setting.
