Corona Regional Medical Center is a skilled nursing facility offering care to residents in the community with a focus on providing both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing support. The facility is relatively small, maintaining a 40-bed capacity, and operates under for-profit, corporate ownership. It participates in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, allowing residents to utilize federal and state assistance options based on eligibility and need.
This center does not form part of a continuing care retirement community but operates independently, focusing solely on skilled nursing and rehabilitation care. The facility is located within a hospital setting, which can benefit residents needing immediate access to medical services and acute care. The facility includes specialized services to support complex medical conditions such as the use of feeding tubes, advanced wound care (such as pressure ulcer management), and infection prevention and control programs to maintain the well-being of residents.
The center is required to meet rigorous standards for health and safety set by governing bodies, including regular inspections of food preparation, storage, and nutritional offerings. Dietary support is a key aspect, with oversight by qualified dietitians to ensure menus are planned, reviewed, and prepared according to each resident’s individualized needs. There is also attention to the maintenance of a safe environment through proper disposal of garbage and refuse, as well as a strong infection prevention program.
Resident rights and the ability for representatives to be involved in care decisions are emphasized at Corona Regional Medical Center. Staff are expected to communicate clearly with residents and their families, and there are mechanisms in place for timely reporting and investigation of any suspected abuse, neglect, or theft. The center emphasizes timely reporting to all relevant authorities in such events, and aims to ensure each resident’s dignity and safety are prioritized throughout their stay.
Support personnel and trained staff collaborate to deliver effective and compassionate care, ensuring that individual care plans are developed, implemented, and monitored with achievable actions and timelines. While the goal is to provide comprehensive care tailored to each resident’s unique situation, regular evaluations and updates of care plans are a routine part of operations. Through ongoing attention to staffing, dietary, and health needs, Corona Regional Medical Center works to address the range of physical, emotional, and social challenges presented in skilled nursing care, providing a secure and supportive environment for its residents.
