Childress Healthcare Center is a medium-sized skilled nursing facility that offers both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care services in a setting designed for adults who need a higher level of support. The facility operates under a for-profit model and maintains a capacity of 120 beds, welcoming residents who require a range of medical and personal care services. As a participant in both Medicare and Medicaid programs, Childress Healthcare Center supports residents by providing access to essential healthcare funding options for eligible individuals.
The center provides an environment intended to address not only the medical needs of residents, but also everyday assistance such as meal preparation, hygiene, dressing, eating, and using the bathroom. Residents benefit from an average of roughly 2 hours and 28 minutes of nurse staffing per day. The ability for residents to maintain activities of daily living is a priority at the center, with a significant percentage of individuals able to move, eat, and perform other basic tasks independently during their stay. In terms of resident well-being, all residents are offered the annual influenza vaccination to help maintain a healthy community.
A focus at Childress Healthcare Center includes short-term rehabilitation, which assists individuals recovering from hospital stays due to conditions such as stroke, heart attack, infections, or accidental injuries. About half of the residents who engage in short-term rehabilitation are able to return home following their treatment, indicating an emphasis on restoring independence when possible. During these rehabilitative stays, the facility monitors health outcomes such as the frequency of falls resulting in injury, incidences of infection requiring hospitalization, and emergency room visits to inform ongoing care strategies.
Staffing at the center also includes particular attention to food and nutrition services, overseen by individuals with competencies in providing suitable, nourishing meals. Residents’ dietary preferences and needs are considered, with efforts made to provide nutritious alternatives and to serve meals in ways that respect resident schedules and preferences. In addition to daily care, the facility's operations and care plans are continually evaluated through regular health, fire, and safety inspections to ensure a supportive and homelike environment, including measures for infection prevention and control.
Childress Healthcare Center is staffed with medical and caregiving professionals who coordinate to deliver vital services such as medication administration, respiratory care when needed, and the implementation of plans that address each resident’s immediate and ongoing needs. The multidisciplinary approach aims to create a safe, comfortable, and positive atmosphere for residents, while balancing medical oversight, personal autonomy, and compassionate support throughout each individual’s stay.
