St. Catherine Healthcare

St. Catherine Healthcare sits inside a Continuing Care Retirement Community, and folks will find a modern facility with 99 beds and room options that include studios and companion apartments, both private and semi-private, with furnishings like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phones, air conditioning, and high-speed internet. The grounds are nicely kept, featuring outdoor gardens and walking paths for fresh air and gentle exercise, which helps residents stay active, and the staff organizes a steady stream of activities including art, games, movies, social events, worship, outings, and resident-led programs so there's usually something to do every day. Residents in need of medical help get skilled nursing care, medication management, and help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and daily living, with 24-hour supervision, a call system, non-ambulatory care, and specialized therapy programs offering physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapy, plus wound care and rehab services for things like joint replacement or stroke. The in-house therapy program uses the latest techniques, aiming to boost strength and mobility with personalized treatment plans that the staff develop with each resident and their family, and the therapy team handles both short-term rehabilitation for people leaving the hospital and long-term care for ongoing needs. The facility can take Medicare and Medicaid, and has a 5-star overall rating from Medicare.gov, and it's affiliated with The Ensign Group. Staff turnover for nurses sits at about 21%, with just under four nurse hours per resident each day, and there are usually around 89 residents living at the facility. Amenities include meals with special diets, laundry, housekeeping, a spa/wellness room, a library, a game room, art and music rooms, transportation, parking, concierge services, an emergency alert system, and scheduled fitness or indoor and outdoor activities, so folks can always find something to keep them busy. However, records show that St. Catherine Healthcare has had some citations for problems like gaps in infection control, not always keeping areas safe from accident hazards, not fully protecting residents' information, not always providing care as ordered or preferred by residents, and some issues with medical recordkeeping and supervision, and these areas are part of their ongoing work to improve. The skilled nursing team works to deliver safe, comfortable, and respectful care, and the overall aim is to give each person a welcoming environment with the right level of help for their health and comfort.
