Riddle Memorial Hospital is housed in a brick and stone building. The skilled nursing unit, which specializes in short-term rehab, accepts hospital patients as well as people from the outside community. Carpet and furnishings are all new. Mauve is the main color, moving through the décor and picking up soft blues and greens along the way in the paint and wallpaper. Tile floors and functional furniture are the hallmarks of the residents' rooms. Chests and tall, skinny cabinets house personal belongings. One very large room accommodates meals and activities. Tables are rearranged as necessary within the brightly colored and airy space. Although residents are encouraged to eat in the dining room, many choose to enjoy meals in the privacy of their own rooms. Since the unit specializes in rehabilitation, activities take a backseat to therapy. Even so, there is a full-time activities coordinator who maintains a schedule that speaks to the shifting needs of residents; crafts are a perennial option. The staff is dedicated and knowledgeable; many are licensed practical nurses. The average stay here is just a week and seniors compose more than three-quarters of the population. Many come here to recover after joint-replacement surgeries. Due to its good reputation, the facility is often filled to capacity and sometimes must turn potential patients away. All services here are paid for by Medicare and by medical insurance.
