Covina Rehabilitation Center sits right in the San Gabriel Valley, in the heart of downtown Covina at 261 W Badillo St, and you'll see the name featured on their signs out front, welcoming people for rehabilitation and skilled nursing care, and if someone needs physical, occupational, or speech therapy, or requires care as part of a recovery or sub-acute program, this place tends to have those services on hand, as well as things like respiratory therapy with staff like Sara Tadesse, a Registered Respiratory Therapist and RCP, and certified nursing assistants like Ann Downhour, who help out with daily needs and make sure folks are comfortable. The facility is privately held and affiliated with Longwood Management Corporation, and keeps about 99 certified beds for residents who need either long-term care or just a short stay after surgery or illness when they're getting back on their feet, and you'll find they usually have about 96 residents there every day, with a team that includes registered nurses, CNAs, and therapists who work together to review and update care plans so each person's needs are met following federal standards, which means things like infection control procedures are followed closely to help keep everyone safe.
The center specializes in short-term rehabilitative care but also manages long-term and end-of-life care, focusing on helping people regain mobility or manage complex conditions, and if someone needs a customized plan to address physical limits or help with breathing, the team will assess the situation and try to come up with something that makes sense, reviewing and improving those care plans over time especially when there have been issues before with care planning or treatment, so they're always working to fix that. The staffing includes about 11-50 employees, and though nurse staffing hours are just under the state average, at 4.46 nurse hours per resident per day compared to 4.5, the nurse turnover rate is higher than the state average, sitting at about 61.2%, which can mean some changes in the team over time but the staff stay focused on offering kind, committed care, and you'll meet staff who are both licensed and experienced.
There are amenities aimed at promoting comfort and recovery, so residents often enjoy daily life enrichment like group exercise, arts and crafts, live entertainment, and even aromatherapy to lift spirits and keep busy, and the care team tries to pay attention to mental, physical, and spiritual wellness throughout a person's stay. Covina Rehabilitation Center holds a strong focus on individualized care, offering both inpatient and outpatient services, with actual therapies delivered on-site for different needs-whether it's getting walking strength back through physical therapy, working on speech, or managing breathing issues. The company's website is covinarehab.com, and though the facility isn't perfect and does address deficiencies, it's known for dedicated hands that try to offer restorative care with compassion, trying to give each resident a sense of dignity as they recover or settle in for longer periods, and you'll see the staff working together to help people achieve the best possible outcome based on each person's challenges and interests.
