Rim Country Health & Rehabilitation

Rim Country Health & Rehabilitation sits over at 807 W. Longhorn Rd. in Payson, AZ, where you'll find a big senior living community with all sorts of care in a quiet, safe spot not tied to a hospital or any large retirement chain, and folks can move in for independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, or memory care depending on what they need at the stage they're in, and there's a special wing just for people with dementia or Alzheimer's who need extra support day and night, with 24-hour supervision, memory programs, and secure grounds. The nursing home part has 109 beds where registered nurses, therapists, and caregivers provide care around the clock, whether it's long-term help, ongoing rehabilitation, wound care, or therapy like physical, occupational, or speech, and they even help people coming out of hospitals and those who need hospice or palliative care or just need a little time to recover before heading home, with services that include things like dialysis, cardiac care, and behavioral health help for seniors with depression or anxiety. You've got room choices like semi-private rooms or apartment-style units, and the place is designed for both privacy and community, since there're shared spaces like a dining hall for restaurant-style meals that care about nutrition, a fitness room, small library, computer center, beauty salon, wellness center, and outdoor courtyard space for enjoying fresh air or walking the dog, because they allow pets, and activities like bridge, games, and various programs run throughout the week, so there's always something to do for folks who can and want to join in. Rim Country also arranges rides to the doctor and gives complimentary in-state medical transport for admissions, while keeping a 24-hour emergency alert system and having staff nearby at all times, plus they provide adult day health care, respite services for families that need a break, placement help, and discharge planning, with extra support and counseling for both residents and families, and a resident council meets to have their say about things. Kitchen aide service is available, and they're always open to hiring kitchen aides or cooks at an hourly wage, with all shifts open, so there's work there if someone's interested, and everything from basic help with daily activities to medication management and housekeeping gets covered. Rim Country participates in Medicare and Medicaid, and it's run by a for-profit corporation that's worked with the VA, especially for veterans needing long-term skilled nursing. You have checklists and guides to help choose the right level of care, and the place's community sits near churches, pharmacies, and stores for easy errand runs. The most recent Medicare quality review gave Rim Country Health & Rehabilitation an overall rating of 2.4 out of 5 stars with 8 noted deficiencies, and even though that's average, you'll see a real focus here on health and rehabilitation services. The property offers a range of amenities meant to keep things comfortable and as homelike as possible, with thoughtful transitions between care levels as needed for aging in place, and while the building's large, each area tries to keep a close-knit feel among neighbors.
