Kokomo Healthcare Center sits in Kokomo, Indiana as a skilled nursing facility with 80 certified beds, and on average, about 60 residents live there each day, so it's not completely full most of the time, and since September 2017, Lincoln Mgt Co LLC has been running the place, with an affiliation to Communicare Health. The facility works all week, staying open every day and night, with nurses providing about 3.64 hours of care per resident daily, but staff turnover for nurses stands at 45.1%, which means folks may see some new faces from time to time, though management keeps experienced staff on hand. Residents get a mix of services like long-term care, respite care, memory care, therapies-physical, occupational, and speech-and there's also wound care, hospice, and palliative care, and if somebody's leaving the hospital or needs help moving in, the staff can assist with that, since they offer transition services too.
All the rooms are private, and the facility supports insurance plans, aiming to make things easier when it comes to payments and privacy. The community's focus rests on helping residents reach for the most independence possible, with care plans shaped together with families and doctors, and social events like music, bingo, therapy dog visits, and even cosmetic parties filling out the calendar for those interested in keeping active and engaged. Inspection reports are available and show 29 deficiencies in total, including one tied to infection, and the center keeps documentation on its care and any needed improvements, so families and residents can review this information. Care measures touch on both resident rights and boosting quality of life, and they try to keep everyone feeling welcome and included, with staff always working to promote wellness.
The facility, owned by one of the largest providers of post-acute care in the nation, emphasizes a supportive setting, with care that's tailored to each resident, whether that means more skilled nursing attention or specialty programs, like memory care for those with cognitive issues, and therapy services for rehabilitation after injury or illness. People say it's known for a compassionate approach and for trying to make the environment warm for everyone, whether they're staying long term, needing short-term help, or coming in for therapy. The community has resources and equipment for good rehabilitation and takes a person-centered approach, always keeping the residents' needs and wishes in mind, and staff team up with families to create care plans that fit their loved ones.
