Sunrise Terrace Care Center, known to some as Sunrise Terrace Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, sits in quiet Winfield, IA and has been caring for people for more than 39 years, offering a mix of nursing care, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term care for older adults and those with health needs, and it does all this with a staff that feels like an extended family, folks who treat residents with respect, patience, and a friendly attitude. Residents can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, Alzheimer's care, and congregate living, and each person has a care plan that fits just what they need, whether that's diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, or rehabilitation services, all carried out by skilled healthcare professionals. The facility has a focus on helping people hold onto their independence, and lets them set their own schedules and lifestyle, which goes along with their resident-directed care model. Common areas indoors give residents space to gather, visit, watch TV, or enjoy quiet time, and there's a cozy main dining room for buffet-style and private meals, restaurant-style service with open dining hours, and the staff makes sure everyone gets meals that meet their needs.
Sunrise Terrace Care Center has short-term rehab programs like the "Get Well . . . Go Home" plan and a therapy gym called Garden Terrace for dementia care, as well as outpatient therapy for those who need it, plus transitional care that helps people get back to an active life after a hospital stay or illness. The care center offers regular activities both on and off its grounds to keep residents busy socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and residents can take part as much as they wish. The rooms feel comfortable with private, furnished spaces including electric beds and chairs, flat-screen TVs, wireless internet, and individual thermostats. Staffing is built around consistent CNA-to-resident assignments, so folks tend to see the same caregivers often, which helps everyone feel more at home. The administrator, Peggy Beaty, leads the team in focusing on whole-person wellness, recovery, and long-term care, and encourages visits so potential residents and their families can see specific areas of interest on a personalized tour. People living at Sunrise Terrace can also take advantage of being close to grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, and other things they might need in town, which keeps daily life simple. The care home has always tried to create a peaceful, quiet, and safe place where older people and those who need extra help can feel cared for and comfortable, all while following each person's needs, preferences, and personal routines.
