Childress Healthcare Center's been around for over 30 years in the community, taking care of folks who need skilled nursing, long-term support, rehab, or memory care, and you'll usually see about 40 residents each day calling it home. The staff knows how to look after people, providing physical help with dressing, grooming, laundry, or housekeeping, and there's always help on hand because the place runs with 24-hour skilled nursing and aids, plus specialized attention for folks with memory or thinking troubles. Residents have their choice between private or semi-private rooms, meals are hot and follow everyone's dietary needs and food preferences, and rehab services like speech, occupational, and physical therapy pop up for those who need them. The Fox Rural Health Clinic on site even takes walk-ins, and the hospital nearby gives access to more care.
Slp Childress, LLC has managed the place since 2014, and the whole business is pretty tightly run, although manager details for the wider operations aren't available. Across its 120 certified beds, the place counts about 51 to 200 staff behind it and usually logs about 2.7 nursing hours per resident daily, though nurse turnover does run at 20%. The nursing home's for-profit, falls under Slp Operations, and is accredited by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Inspections show the facility tries to follow rules, but there's been some issues, with a total of 20 deficiencies cited in recent reports, eight of those found just in April 2024. Three of the problems deal with infection control, which means standards for keeping folks safe from illness weren't always followed. Inspectors found the center needed to improve in giving care as ordered and respecting resident wishes, and flagged privacy and confidentiality concerns. The most recent complaint report, from February 2025, listed another couple of deficiencies. Leadership says they aim for good care and community trust, and some locals do vouch for solid standards there, but the home has been written up for not always meeting licensed care or patient rights expectations.
So, you'll find a quiet building with a secure layout, helpful for folks who might get confused or need easy access, and there's a focus on making residents feel comfortable with a cozy setting and chances to chat or relax. Meals and housekeeping tasks are taken care of, while rehab, respite, and hospice care also get covered for those who need it. Personalized care plans try to fit what each person needs, and the team does have experience in looking after older adults with lots of support programs and community ties. With infection prevention and resident rights sometimes running into issues, it's worth a look at recent inspection reports if that's important, but overall, Childress Healthcare Center keeps working to meet a range of eldercare needs for people in the area.
