Bennett Hills Rehabilitation and Care Center

Bennett Hills Rehabilitation and Care Center offers long-term care and rehabilitation services in Gooding, Idaho, right off Montana Street, and while it's the only nursing home option in town, folks here get nursing care, rehabilitation therapies, and support for those who have high medical needs, and the staff tries hard to maintain a sense of community so residents feel like they belong whether they're here for a short stay or need ongoing help. The building holds up to 80 certified beds; the average daily census sits around 52 residents, and the nurse staffing level, measured at about 4.08 nursing hours for each resident daily, shows their attempt to keep things running safely, but nurse turnover is kind of high at 61.5%, which is something to think about if you're considering consistent hands around. Bennett Hills is a for-profit facility owned by The Ensign Group and it's managed by Richard Ord since 2018, and while it gets points for offering personalized therapy programs, state-of-the-art equipment, several types of therapy-from speech to wound care to physical and occupational work, to nutritional, pain, and respiratory services-the center was cited with 29 deficiencies in its last inspection, including infection-control issues, incomplete care plans, and failure to protect residents from harm, so that's important to know. Reviewers have given a 4.1 average rating from nine reviews, and the building has a mix of inpatient and outpatient rehab, skilled nursing services, and help with daily activities like personal care or transportation, plus a round of social, educational, and recreational programs to keep people occupied and active. Residents come for both short-term rehab and long-term nursing care, and Medicare and Medicaid are accepted for those who qualify. Staff seem to value their work, with many seeing their roles as more than just a job, and therapy programs get designed for each patient's needs. Amenities focus on comfort and accessibility, and you'll see online resources, a careers section for job seekers, non-discrimination policies, and online payment help, but no facility is perfect and people should look at all available inspection reports and ratings before deciding. Bennett Hills remains the primary senior nursing and rehab option for locals in Gooding, focusing on making residents' days safe, active, and as independent as possible.
