The Cove of Cascadia sits at 620 N 6th St in Bellevue, Idaho, and works as both an assisted living and skilled nursing facility. The place is owned by Cascadia Idaho Operations LLC through Cascadia Healthcare. Warren Bodily has managed the facility since February 2020, and Darwin Royeca serves as one of its dedicated care providers. The building has 16 beds and offers both private and semi-private rooms, giving residents some choice in how they live. The facility has a three-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and nurse staffing averages about 4.68 hours per resident each day, though there's a nurse turnover rate of about 27.5%, which isn't especially low or high for the industry.
Residents get access to a variety of services including skilled nursing care, memory care, occupational and physical therapy, and tailored wellness programs focused on rehabilitation and daily living. Treatment options include behavior modification, activity therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and individual psychotherapy, and there's a mental health treatment center on-site with residential rehab services. The staff use several medications for psychiatric care, like Chlorpromazine, Haloperidol, Aripiprazole, and others as part of their pharmacotherapy offerings. The community also provides crisis intervention, illness management, vocational rehabilitation, TB screening, and both transitional and long-term care for those who need it. There are both Medicaid and Medicare options as well as private insurance, self-payment, and other state health plans accepted.
The facility has a history of some deficiencies found through state inspections, with 18 total in recent reports. These include issues with protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, concerns with food handling and dietary standards, and problems related to accident hazards and supervision. The management says they're committed to resident health, privacy, and following a clear code of conduct. English is the primary language spoken by staff. The Cove of Cascadia is a member of the Idaho Health Care Association and affiliated with Cascadia Healthcare, and even though they highlight inviting outdoor spaces and resident activities, they're not currently accepting new patients. The atmosphere is generally comfortable, with several engaging programs for socializing, and rooms are designed to let residents feel at home while getting the support needed for daily living tasks.
