    About Pennington Health Services dba Thief River Care Center

    Thief River Care Center provides comprehensive, person-centered care tailored to the needs of older adults requiring the highest level of support outside of a hospital environment. The care center recognizes that each resident brings a unique background and set of circumstances, and their approach is built around offering round-the-clock support through a suite of services. Residents benefit from the attentive oversight of a licensed physician, who supervises every patient’s care. Additionally, skilled nursing care is consistently available onsite, ensuring medical needs are met at any hour. The presence of professional caregivers, including nurses and other medical staff, means that residents receive not only custodial assistance—such as help with feeding, bathing, dressing, and mobility—but also the administration of skilled medical procedures and therapies directly within the facility.

    What distinguishes Thief River Care Center is its focus on both the medical and personal well-being of its residents. In addition to regular nursing services, specialists such as occupational and physical therapists are on hand to provide customized therapies. This level of support makes it possible for residents to access advanced medical care without leaving the comfort and safety of the care center’s environment. The commitment extends beyond the basics to ensure every individual receives holistic attention in a dignified and respectful setting.

    The center acknowledges that the decision to transition into this type of environment is often fraught with emotions and misconceptions, and it actively works to combat outdated stereotypes about life in a nursing home. Thief River Care Center operates on the understanding that moving to such a facility is not a sign that families do not care, but rather a responsible step to ensure loved ones’ needs are fully addressed, especially when the challenges of chronic illness, long-term recovery, or advanced age surpass the capabilities of home care. The care center fosters a culture that values innovation in caregiving and encourages open dialogue with residents and their families by inviting feedback and participation in surveys.

    Employment at Thief River Care Center is presented as a rewarding career opportunity, emphasizing the chance for staff members to make a significant difference in the quality of life for residents. The center stands as a supportive community—not only for those it serves directly, but for the dedicated professionals who deliver compassionate care every day. While offering rehabilitative care for those recovering from events like falls or strokes, the center also supports long-term residents who require continual medical and custodial attention. This flexibility allows for positive transitions, whether the goal is returning home or finding a more suitable level of care after rehabilitation.

    Thief River Care Center aims to be a leader in its field, committed to both innovation and the well-being of all who walk through its doors. The emphasis on person-centered support, professional development, and community engagement ensures that the care provided is not only safe and medically sound, but also supportive and enriching for every resident.
