What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The transition from hospital to home is supported through a comprehensive continuum of post-acute care at this Angola facility. From intensive short-term skilled nursing to semi-independent living suites and general long-term care, residents can access the exact intensity of daily support they require. The clinical team also runs a flexible adult day care program seven days a week, ensuring local families have reliable supervision when they need it most.
Therapies
Rehabilitation is anchored by a customized 2-Tier Rehab Program, which combines rigorous daily skilled therapy with a robust restorative nursing schedule to help patients return home faster. Licensed therapists guide patients through focused physical and occupational therapy to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and master daily living tasks safely. Speech and respiratory therapies are also integrated seamlessly to support stroke recovery and manage chronic pulmonary conditions like COPD.
Addictions
While this location specializes in skilled nursing and geriatric rehabilitation, they do not list specific substance use disorder programs on their website. Individuals seeking primary addiction treatment should consult directly with a specialized dual-diagnosis or behavioral health center.
Conditions
Medical recovery here focuses heavily on complex physical and neurological challenges rather than isolated psychiatric disorders. The clinical team provides specialized care for individuals recovering from strokes, managing chronic respiratory failure, or living with Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, the secure memory care unit is designed specifically to support adults navigating the complex behavioral and cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
Issues
Beyond acute physical therapy, the clinical staff actively manages chronic illness and the complex aftercare required following medical trauma or elective surgeries. They focus heavily on advanced pain management and the rigorous treatment of non-healing wounds stemming from diabetes or poor circulation. The facility also steps in to ease stressful life transitions for local families, offering caregiver relief through dedicated short-term respite programs.
Programs
Specialized treatment tracks are built around specific medical events, prominently featuring a dedicated Cardiac and Stroke Recovery Program. This track is structured for patients who need intense, monitored time to heal from heart failure, high blood pressure crises, or complex cardiac procedures before returning home. For those requiring permanent specialized oversight, the Alzheimer's program trains staff specifically in managing wandering, Sundowner’s syndrome, and other complex behaviors safely.
On-site
Amenities
Daily life is designed to feel comfortable and accommodating, with residents choosing between semi-private rooms or large private suites. A registered dietitian oversees the culinary team, ensuring specialized dietary accommodations are met while still offering an always-available menu and fully stocked snack stations. Practical conveniences like routine housekeeping, on-site beauty and barber services, and complimentary personal hygiene items allow residents to focus entirely on their wellness.
Coverage
Payment
Navigating the financial side of senior healthcare is supported by a dedicated community liaison who helps families understand their Medicare and Medicaid benefits. The facility participates with most major insurance plans, maintaining active in-network status with providers like Humana, Anthem, and Aetna Medicare Advantage. For those paying out of pocket or utilizing long-term care policies, credit cards and private pay options are also welcome.
Eligibility
Who We Serve
Serving friends and neighbors in Steuben County and surrounding communities since 2000, this center is primarily built for aging adults and seniors. Whether a resident needs minimal oversight in the semi-independent living wing or round-the-clock intensive geriatric care, the environment is tailored securely to an older demographic. The medical staff works closely with regional health systems like Cameron Memorial and Parkview to ensure seamless care transitions for local families.
Age Groups
Additional Services
Northern Lakes Nursing & Rehabilitation Center distinguishes its care infrastructure with a unique Post-Discharge Home Visit Wellness Program. For four weeks after a resident returns home, courtesy nursing staff conduct weekly home checks to monitor medications, take vitals, and prevent unnecessary hospital readmissions. When families first need help finding placement, the admissions team operates a 24/7 rapid response line to coordinate same-day admissions and urgent clinical care.
