Gordon Countryside Care sits in Gordon, Nebraska, as part of the Gordon Memorial Hospital District, and the nursing facility has a licensed capacity of 40 beds with staff available 24 hours a day for emergencies, so if something happens at night or during the day, someone is always there to help out, which gives a sense of comfort for families and residents alike. The facility offers different levels of care, such as assisted living for residents who need help with things like bathing, dressing, or managing medicines, independent living for those who can still do most things on their own, memory care for residents dealing with memory loss, adult care home services for those who need more hands-on support, and skilled nursing and intermediate care for frail residents needing around-the-clock help, including short-term rehabilitation stays for people recovering between hospital and home, with short stay options for 14 days or less if that's all the time someone needs.
There's a focus here on respect, dignity, and maintaining the highest standard of physical and mental functioning, aiming for each person to feel as comfortable and as well looked after as possible, and the team-which includes an administrator and a director of nursing-works to give residents personalized care to fit each individual's needs. Residents get diabetic care, including help with checking insulin, incontinence care for those who need it, as well as help with getting from a bed to a wheelchair and back. There's also hospice, home health, and home care support for those who need these services, so families can find the specific help their loved one needs during different times or conditions.
Meals are provided, with effort to ensure dishes are balanced, nutritious, and made with quality ingredients, so preparing and affording meals won't be a worry for residents. For activities, there are on-site options designed to keep minds and bodies engaged, devotional programs for spiritual needs, and offsite activities so residents can stay connected to the wider community when they'd like. Gordon Countryside Care features common indoor spaces where residents can gather, visit, and participate in community programs, which often welcome local church groups, schools, and organizations. The "Busy Bees" program gives residents more ways to spend their time, and the patient portal helps families and residents access needed services or information more easily.
Bathing support includes whirlpool baths, which can be scheduled with the nursing staff-a small comfort for those who enjoy a warm soak. The Gordon Memorial Hospital Foundation supports the facility, hosting charitable giving and memorial gifts, which some families find meaningful. The property's also tied to healthcare services through the hospital district, so there are clinics, specialty clinics, rehab, lab, radiology, emergency care, swing bed, and surgery right nearby if needed, which might give some peace of mind. The review score for Gordon Countryside Care isn't available or provided, but the goal here is to offer a respectful place where elders can get the care they need, whether for a short stay or long-term, in a setting that's made to support dignity, comfort, and connection.
