Gridley Post Acute is a skilled nursing facility with 82 certified beds, usually serving about 73 residents a day, and the building feels clean, with staff who are generally friendly and attentive, which gives a positive, caring atmosphere, even though nothing is ever completely perfect in this kind of work. The facility accepts a wide range of payments, including private pay, cash, check, private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and military or VA benefits, so most families can find an option that fits what they have.
People come here for many reasons, since Gridley Post Acute provides skilled nursing care for those who've got complex needs, and it also handles short-term rehab for folks who hope to return home, and it even helps very frail individuals who need constant help. The skilled nursing and rehab teams offer around the clock care, and the nurses average about 4.40 hours per resident each day, which is a useful number to compare with other places, if someone is curious. The rehab services cover physical, occupational, respiratory, and speech therapy, and the main goal is to help residents build strength, get their mobility back, and recover their abilities, so they can leave when they're ready and feel comfortable doing more on their own. The social services team steps in to support residents emotionally, help with care plans, and smooth the transition back to the community, which does make things easier for families.
Over the years, the staff has tried to create a safe place where people feel supported, and they've built up a large program of activities to help with socializing, mental health, and staying active, even though it's still up to each resident to join in, and some days are better than others. The facility is managed by Kevin Galbasini, Daniel Gill, and Cameron Rosenhan since October 2021, and ownership is held by West Harbor Healthcare LLC, connecting it to the larger West Harbor Healthcare group.
Gridley Post Acute offers many types of care, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Home Care that's non-medical, Adult Day Services, Home Health Care certified by Medicare, Long-Term Care/Skilled Nursing, and Hospice Care, so families can find different levels of support in one place. People can also use outpatient rehab services even if they're not living in the building. The staff uses individual care plans and tries to adapt to each resident, but as with every facility, they've had room for improvement, being cited for 22 deficiencies in recent inspections-including in areas like care planning and letting residents know clear transfer times. The nurse turnover rate is 43.6%, which tells you staff sometimes changes more than some families would like.
Gridley Post Acute is rated as a five-star facility for high-quality care by CMS, and the team says they make a strong effort to keep residents safe and comfortable, offering medical care for folks needing intermediate and rehabilitation help. There's a website for more information, and families can send a provider message if they want to ask questions. While no place is perfect, Gridley Post Acute tries to give thoughtful, compassionate care and pays attention to helping people become as independent as possible.
