Henderson Nursing Home, also called Henderson Care Center, sits inside a hospital in Henderson, NE 68371, and serves mostly older adults who can't live fully on their own but don't quite need long-term skilled nursing yet, though they do need help with daily activities, things like bathing, dressing, or managing their medicines. The building provides assisted living and also has skilled nursing with registered nurses, and reports 5 hours and 5 minutes of nursing care for each resident every day, which is about what most folks need when they aren't fully independent anymore. You'll find a total of 42 certified beds, but there are usually about 37 residents, so things don't usually feel crowded, and the rooms come in different types-studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and semi-private options-so people pick what fits, and most shared rooms are arranged to keep privacy for those times folks want to be alone.
The place serves people who might need diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory care for people who can't get around on their own, and someone to help move from the bed to a wheelchair if needed. Staff stays on the clock 24/7 and can assist during emergencies. Aides help with eating, bathing, and getting dressed. Staff can check insulin for people with diabetes, and residents don't get a catheter unless there's really a need. The facility accepts Medicaid, plus payments from private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and commercial insurance, charging different fees based on the level of care and room choices-community fees, respite fees, buy-in fees, and tiered care fees for high, medium, or low needs.
Meals are served there, which helps people who may not want to deal with cooking, and staff pays attention to safety-making sure food's stored, cooked, and served properly, and that everyone gets enough to eat. There's a sprinkler system for fire safety. Each resident gets their care plan set and updated within 7 days of moving in, and nurses or other staff look at the whole plan often so nothing gets missed. Licensed pharmacists review resident medications every month, keep track of doses and lengths, and everything gets marked properly. Staff get checked for any criminal or abusive backgrounds, and the facility investigates any claims of mistreatment.
There's no information about pets being allowed, but the staff leads on-site activities to keep people busy physically, socially, mentally, and emotionally, plus devotional outings off the property for those who take part. Residents can get both individual and family counseling. There are indoor spaces for people to gather, talk, or relax, and councils for both families and residents to bring up concerns or suggestions. The facility runs as a for-profit corporation, doesn't participate in continuing care retirement community programs, and offers both assisted living and some skilled nursing, including options for folks who don't quite need round-the-clock care. The staff develops infection and vaccination plans, like for flu and pneumonia, and does full quality evaluations-health inspections, quality measures, and staff reviews. The aim is to help folks stay as mobile as possible, avoid pressure sores, and feel safe in a setting where most folks probably know each other by name.
