The Ventilator program at Westlake Rehab & Nursing Center exists to help people with varying levels of support needs and remains one of the most comprehensive services at Westlake. Some residents will only need temporary ventilator services, and some may be on one for the rest of their lives; however, we believe that no matter what the situation, life can be enjoyable, active, and happy with the support of the right team. The “right team” is not only our excellent staff, but your family as well. Our program is designed to include your loved ones in the recovery process.

Our advanced equipment and techniques provide our patients with the best rehabilitative services in the area and is one of only three facilities in the Cleveland area to offer Ventilator/Vent Dialysis.

Skilled Care

Skilled nursing care often refers to the care provided to a patient by licensed nurses during a short post hospital stay at a skilled nursing facility.  Our licensed nurses are available 24 hours a day to care for patients requiring treatment for intravenous therapy, tube feeding, daily medication management and training, monitoring and treatment of changing health status, complex wound care, and more.

Intermediate Care

Intermediate nursing care refers to care provided to patients, usually referred to as residents, who reside in the facility for a short respite stay or on a longer term basis.  These residents receive all of the same benefits of 24 hour licensed nursing care as above mentioned, but often don’t have the rapidly changing health status as someone just discharging from a hospital.
