Wakefield Health Care Center

Wakefield Health Care Center sits on Ash Street in Wakefield, Nebraska, and people find all sorts of care there, since it offers skilled nursing, assisted living, and independent living with places like the Ash Street Apartments and Villa Apartments, plus both private and semiprivate rooms, so there are some options depending on how much care a person needs or wants, and everything is set up to help folks age with dignity like their motto says. The place has a warm and supportive environment, folks get meals that are nutritious as well as some nice activities to do, and the staff will help with things like medication, laundry, housekeeping, and even transportation, so daily life can go along without too much difficulty, and the courtyard, which connects the different living areas, adds a bit of beauty to the grounds. The nurse staffing shows a strong presence, with adjusted total nurse hours per resident per day a little over 5, and registered nurse hours just under 1, even on weekends; the staffing rating is high at 5 stars, although both quality measures and health inspection ratings are steady at 3 stars each, which reflects steady care and attention though there's still room for improvement. Wakefield Health Care Center stands out for never having any fines, no substantiated complaints, and it's run by the city instead of a private company, which means it's community-owned, and that might give some families peace of mind. Therapies like physical, speech, and occupational are available, and folks can count on services such as food, barbershop visits, snow removal, and wellness monitoring. There's a steady flow of about 28 residents each day, with a total of 40 certified beds in the skilled nursing section, and the place is fully certified by Medicaid, Medicare, and VA, so different coverage options are possible. Studio apartments come with their own cupboards and refrigerators, and their independent Ash Street Apartments adjoin the main campus, which helps people keep their independence but get support if they need it. Staff work to give compassionate, personalized care, and the property remains focused on upholding quality while supporting each person's well-being.
