Mission Carmichael HealthCare Center sits in the heart of Carmichael, California, and has 135 certified beds to serve about 125 residents a day, mostly people needing skilled nursing or short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, and you'll also find independent living options there with services for more active seniors, and since they focus on memory care too, folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia get extra attention, though the price is higher and Medicaid or Medicare might help pay for it. The center provides 24-hour nursing, a variety of therapies, social services, prepared meals one or two times daily, and laundry and housekeeping, so residents get basic comforts while the support staff-including clinicians, therapists, and consultants-work together on personalized treatment plans to help residents gain as much independence as possible and hopefully return home. Activities run regularly to fit different interests and abilities, and for those who need help, services like bathing, dressing, and medication support are available. There's a free CNA school that covers classes and job placement, which can be good for those looking to get into health care roles.
Staff at Mission Carmichael HealthCare Center can join their employee benefits program, including medical, dental, and vision insurance, along with Aflac, LegalZoom, Proactive Health Management Plan, and pet insurance for full-time new hires, and there are discounts for things like theme parks, movies, concerts, ski resorts, and car rentals through what's called Tickets at Work. Some other things for employees are the monthly safety bonus raffles during all-staff meetings, and even an annual car giveaway based on good attendance and safe work practices, which isn't something every place does. The nurse turnover rate sits at 36.8%, which comes in lower than the state's 40% average, and direct care staff spend roughly 3.94 nurse hours per resident each day, which falls just under the state average.
For those who look at inspection records, this place's got some things to think about-Mission Carmichael HealthCare Center has received 55 deficiencies, with four tied to infection control, and there's an environmental issue about call systems in bathrooms and bathing areas, plus a pharmacy citation for not always providing the pharmaceutical care residents need, so if those are concerns for you or your loved one, you'll want to check into them. Even with these challenges, some families speak well of the staff and mention a positive atmosphere for the residents. The center does offer tours for anyone wanting to visit and see the environment for themselves. Owners Mission Carmichael Post Acute LLC, with connections to Thomas Chambers and David Johnson, have a for-profit, privately held company with a focus on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and support for seniors, including those coping with mental health needs as they age.
