Dycora Transitional Health - Fort Atkinson sits in Fort Atkinson and serves as a skilled nursing facility with 87 certified beds, offering both short-term rehab and long-term care. The place handles complex medical needs like wound care, pain management, stroke recovery, amputee recovery, and diabetes management, plus IV antibiotic therapy, palliative care, hospice, and respite care. Staff include registered nurses, LPNs, CNAs, and therapists, who help residents with basic tasks like bathing, dressing, transfers, and medication management, and the team provides services like occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physical therapy on-site. Some extra care options cover cardiac and respiratory therapy, dentistry, podiatry, nutritional counseling, radiology, and X-ray, while trained staff can give general counseling, 12-16 hour nursing attention, and 24-hour supervision with a call system for emergencies, though the overall nurse staffing and training get a C grade.
It's a for-profit Limited Liability Company that accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and Medi-Cal, which makes the place available to many families, and the occupancy rate is usually pretty high, near 65 percent. Residents with memory care needs or those needing post-acute, post-surgery, or dialysis recovery can find tailored help. Rooms can be private or semi-private, with basic comforts like cable TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, and community areas offer things like walking paths, gardens, game and movie rooms, a fitness space, outdoor programs, music, activity rooms, and organized group activities. Dining services make meals with some accommodations for special diets, and food's served restaurant-style all day. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and family support are also part of what's included. Staff claim to focus on building strength and wellness so residents can get back home safely.
However, the facility holds an overall rating of F, and it received a recent abuse flag within the last year, so families may need to weigh these points before deciding. Dycora operates several facilities across California and Indiana, but this one, while set in a Continuing Care Retirement Community, is only licensed as a Skilled Nursing Facility and not as a full CCRC. It offers no active resident or family council. Dycora Transitional Health - Fort Atkinson isn't fancy, and ratings don't hide past problems, but it does offer a range of healthcare services for people needing rehab or full nursing care.
