Fort Dodge Health and Rehabilitation sits at 728 14th Ave N #7016, Fort Dodge, IA 50501, and brings together different kinds of health and rehabilitation care, including short-term rehab and long-term care in a modern center with 65 beds. The rehab team here stays busy, handling a fast-paced environment and working with a wide mix of clients, offering speech therapy, skilled nursing, and in-house therapy for people who need help with communication and swallowing problems. Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) have full-time, travel, and temporary slots-one example being a 12-week assignment from July 19 to October 11, 2025-and they get to work with both senior residents and younger folks through teletherapy, especially kids and school-aged populations.
This place focuses on making thorough, useful care plans, whether for someone getting back their strength after surgery or someone needing help with daily tasks for the long run. The staff includes skilled nurses who cover care all day and night, working closely with in-house physicians and therapy specialists to set up treatment plans that really fit each person as best as possible. Rooms come in private or semi-private options, and people staying here get access to housecleaning, laundry, and a well-rounded menu. They also keep the grounds looking nice and offer a welcoming environment, with activities planned every day to help folks stay active, whether they want to join group games or quieter things.
There's a strong focus on outpatient rehabilitation too, so help's not limited to those staying overnight, and teletherapy opens up services to more people, including specialized care for children. Besides the main therapy jobs, SLPs can do assessments and work on direct patient care, and the location supports various job openings for rehab professionals across different lengths of assignment and shift schedules. Fort Dodge Health and Rehabilitation puts its efforts into helping residents improve and maintain health in comfortable and supportive surroundings. The community sits in an area with other care communities, like Elite Lodge of Ashworth and Addington Place of Burlington, and offers memory care, assisted living, independent living, and skilled nursing services, much like its nearby peers. They use current approaches in therapy, blending state-of-the-art methods with hands-on attention to help folks reach their goals.
