Waterman Canyon Post Acute stays open all day and night, every day of the week, offering post-acute care and long-term skilled nursing for people who need recovery support or daily help after being in the hospital, and it's got space for about 166 beds, averaging 158 residents per day, so it's always busy, and folks can look at more official details on the Medicare website or their own site at watermancanyonpa.com if they want to dig deeper into reports or standards. Managed by Nicoletta Jenkins since May 2022 and owned fully by Providence Group NH, LLC, with ties to Pacs Group, this place has been checked by inspectors with reports on regular standards, complaints, and infection control, and they've had deficiencies like room size not meeting code (F0912), and more seriously, issues relating to abuse or neglect (F0609), among 46 total deficiencies and 3 infection-related cases in their most recent review, and those records are important for families to look at. Nurse turnover sits pretty high at 47.6%, but nurse staffing hours are 3.86 per resident per day, with a team that includes LVNs, RNs, and CNAs who try to help people day and night, and you'll see cleaning staff and case managers help out and sometimes just chat with folks, too.
Residents can get physical therapy and occupational therapy five days a week, along with speech therapy and special rehab, including for foot injuries, and the occupational team encourages everyone to work toward small goals every day, so lots of care plans are highly personalized and there's plenty of assistance, and they do try to focus on safety, emotional support, and good hygiene throughout the buildings. There's always something going on, whether it's a daily activity on the calendar or people like Marjorie in the evenings working to help folks stay engaged, with the community programs focusing on movement, therapy, or just simple social time; staff work hard to be friendly and give compassionate attention, and the place emphasizes recovery, healing, and, for anyone interested, some level of independence. The rooms are meant to be safe and therapeutic, though there have been citations for size, and the facilities aim to stay comfortable for residents, with both amenities and cleaning taken seriously. Waterman Canyon Post Acute tries to keep activities, therapy, and basic support available for every resident, no matter how mobile or independent they happen to be.
