Crook County Hospital & Long Term Care

Crook County Hospital & Long Term Care sits at 713 E Oak St in Sundance, Wyoming, and it's operated by Crook County Medical Services District, making it a public facility where folks can get a range of health and supportive services without too much fuss. The main building's got a 16-bed hospital for emergencies and acute care and a 32-bed long term care facility for people who need more daily help. People living there get personal care plans after a careful assessment, so staff focus on what residents can do and give help with what they can't, covering things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and it all happens with respect, dignity, and compassion like they say in their philosophy. There's around-the-clock nursing from licensed nurses, licensed practical nursing assistants, and certified nursing assistants, and the place covers medical care, wound care, rehab, and specialized memory care for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, giving supervision, memory-boosting activities, and secure spaces so everyone's safe. Seniors can stay there full-time or use respite care for a short break if caregivers need one, and there's also short-term rehab with "swing bed" care for people who need to get back on their feet between the hospital and home. Daily life's set up to give community engagement, with inside and outside common areas like gardens, daily activities, and events, and they've got meals tailored for diabetes and special diets, with kitchenettes, meals, and snacks, and the rooms come ready with cable, wi-fi, housekeeping, linen services, and even phones so nobody feels left out. Transportation's available for medical appointments, so no one misses seeing the doctor, and residents don't have to worry about getting someone to drive them. The hospital has a wellness gym, emergency room, and clinic all at the main campus for folks who need more than just long-term care, with the emergency department even certified for trauma cases. On the technology side, there's a patient portal for people who like to check things online or need to talk with staff, and coordination between care providers happens so nobody falls through the cracks. In addition to regular hospital and long-term care, services cover home health, lab work, radiology like X-rays and mammograms, surgeries from biopsies to gall bladder or hernia work, cancer therapies, cardiac and psychiatric care, and even outpatient services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, and support with speech or swallowing. There's mental health outpatient clinics, preventative care, and vaccinations, supported by a fully equipped Advanced Life Support ambulance service, and they don't leave out smaller communities since they also run satellite clinics in Hulett and Moorcroft so everybody in Crook County can get some level of care. The administration focuses on affordable, convenient, and quality health services, and though the place is pretty complete, with healthcare staffing handled through something called Nursa for flexible shifts, there's never any promise that everything will be perfect, but the staff seem to work hard to keep people comfortable, safe, and as independent as possible.
