Kit Carson Nursing & Rehabilitation Center

Kit Carson Nursing & Rehabilitation Center sits as a for-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility with 199 certified beds and usually about 72 residents staying each day, which means you'll find full-time care and supervision around the clock. Nurse staffing hours run at 4.51 per resident per day, a touch above the state average, and nurse turnover at 39.1% is a bit less than usual in the state, and the center is owned by Jenq Chen who holds the full share, while it's run by administrator Theresa Cadimas and office manager Lyden Sumalinog with oversight from Eva Care Group and management by John Padama since early 2019. Folks looking for short-term recovery after illness or surgery can use the Rapid Recovery Unit where a team helps with IV therapy, rehabilitation, and physician-directed bed rest to help get people well enough to head back home, and each resident has a care plan worked out between staff and family for both short-term fixes and longer-term recovery. The place has Medicare and Medicaid certification, offers medical and rehabilitative care, and relies on therapists working alongside nurses for a team-based approach, so everyone's working together from different backgrounds to handle complex medical needs. They've had care deficiencies on inspection reports-fifty in total, including four related to infections, and others tied to safety and protection of residents-which is worth knowing, and the team states they're focused on treating people with dignity and respect, developing care for the individual, and keeping quality of life and safety in mind. Daily visiting runs from 11:00am to 8:00pm, and the facility aims to provide assessments, therapies, and skilled care all in one spot, with routines designed to match what each resident needs, whether it's long-term nursing or short-term rapid recovery help.
