More Than Traditional Long-Term Care

Elderwood at Waverly is a skilled nursing community serving long-term residents, individuals with memory-care needs, and short-stay rehabilitation patients transitioning from hospital to home.

Our clinical teams care for individuals recovering from illness, injury, surgery, orthopedic procedures, and cardiac conditions. Facility capabilities include IV therapy, PICC-line management, wound-vac therapy, complex wound and ostomy care, enteral feeding, and dialysis coordination.

This is a strong environment for CNAs who want exposure to a clinically active post-acute setting while developing the observation, communication, and resident-care skills that create a strong foundation for continued healthcare growth.
