PioneerCare Center sits at 1131 Mabelle Avenue South in Fergus Falls, Minnesota, and belongs to Pioneer, an organization that serves older adults in several ways and locations including 411 E Everett, 1317 Mabelle Avenue South in Fergus Falls, and 521 Oak Street in Breckenridge. The Center works to enhance quality of life for its residents by focusing on person-centered care, which means staff try to meet each individual's needs and preferences, whether that's for short-term rehab or long-term skilled care. People living with memory loss have a home-style place to stay at the Pioneer Cottages, found in both Fergus Falls and Breckenridge, and there are also independent, service-supported apartments for seniors called Pioneer Pointe. PioneerLink lets people use technology for home safety and medication management, helping them remain independent.
PioneerCare Center includes a range of caring roles-registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, trained medication aides, caregivers, homemakers, cooks, housekeepers, maintenance and activities staff, and administrative personnel. The facility values staff by offering student loan repayment, scholarships, and covering training costs for certain certifications. Staff support begins with thorough orientation and continues with a focus on openness and teamwork. The Center's mission is grounded in Christ-like values, aiming for dignity and worth for every person and supported by ties to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.
The Center serves people facing illness, injury, or the challenges of aging, with skilled nursing care, memory care, and both long- and short-term stay options like Pioneer ShortStay. The environment offers unique features, such as the Garden Court with its indoor waterfall and the Celebration Center with a pulpit and relief sculpture, where people can gather. There's spiritual care for those who want it. PioneerCare also provides on-site childcare for employees' families. Infection control and prevention are important parts of care here, and a variety of apartments are available for senior residents with options for supportive services. The Center isn't standing still-it's working on remodeling and updates with projects like the Securing the Future capital campaign.
PioneerCare Center believes in treating each resident as an individual, working within a diverse, holistic approach that supports engagement and collaboration among residents, families, and staff. The Center tries to create a safe, supportive place where older adults can maintain their dignity and have the care they need.
