Quinn Meadows Rehabilitation and Care Center sits on West Quinn Road in Pocatello, Idaho, and people say the meadows and views bring a feeling of calm, with a sense of peacefulness when you look out at the landscape, and there are even walking trails and chances to watch birds for those who enjoy nature or just like being outside. The building isn't the usual style of residential place, and the property has a sprinkler system, wide walkways, and special safety features to help people get where they need to go, while things like guest parking and garages make it easier for families to visit. Managers under Tanabell Health Services, Inc. have run things since 2008, with people like Bryan Moon and Troy Bell handling ownership and oversight, and the staff tries hard to take care of about 35 residents each day in the 41 certified beds.
There are several different living options, so some folks come in for skilled nursing care with 24-hour support, memory care for Alzheimer's and other changes, assisted living for those who need a little help, and independent living for folks who want their own space but like having care available, and on top of that there are specialized staff and personal care assistants who help with things like bathing, toileting, walking, medication, wound care, and nutrition, and the team offers post-operative recovery, pain management, rehabilitation after surgery or injury, chronic illness support, and even mental health and palliative care, with therapists for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as IV care and non-acute cardiac support. There's a focus on making people comfortable, with private rooms, housekeepers, kitchenettes, washers and dryers, cable TV, Wifi, and a dining room where meals are served, plus a salon, fitness center, crafts room, and outdoor spaces to sit or walk with visitors.
Daily activities keep people as busy as they like with arts and crafts, birthday parties, social events, and special wellness classes, and the staff, who are trained to react quickly and treat residents kindly, help people join in educational and health programs, and there's encouragement to create friendships in what many say feels like a family-type setting. Transportation is available for errands and appointments, with support for walkers and wheelchairs. Policies prevent discrimination based on gender identity and orientation, giving peace of mind to LGBTQ residents and their families.
Even with awards like Best of Senior Living and stories of helpful staff, the facility's record from inspection reports shows there have been problems, with a total of 24 deficiencies, including 3 tied to infection control, not always buying or handling food correctly, and not always keeping things as clean and home-like as expected, though no actual harm was found, inspectors did note the potential for it. There's an average of 4.18 nurse hours per person daily, which covers basic needs, and nurse turnover is about average for Idaho. Quinn Meadows Rehabilitation and Care Center is Medicare and Medicaid certified, offers both short- and long-term stays, and uses personalized care plans to help people recover, stay safe, and enjoy their days, all while trying to keep things peaceful and home-like, even if that doesn't always go perfectly.
