Accura HealthCare of Lake City

Accura HealthCare of Lake City sits at 1409 W Main Street in Lake City, Iowa, with 46 certified beds available for people who need short-term rehab or long-term nursing care, and the staff runs a skilled nursing facility offering both regular nursing care and intermediate care for the very frail who need help with daily living activities, and they offer respite care that can last from three days up to two weeks for family caregivers who need a break, and you'll find both private and companion rooms along with bigger deluxe private rooms there, while daily meals are served three times a day in a buffet dining room, and residents can take part in structured activities, music therapy, therapeutic recreation to help their emotional and physical health, and chapel services like Bible study if they want them. The place provides physical, occupational, and speech therapies, too, focusing on helping people regain strength, balance, and function after illness or surgery, with the therapy team doing things like neuromuscular re-education, home safety checks, and mobility training, aiming to help each person get back as much ability as possible, and there's always a nurse around the clock for medical and medication needs, and the staff work with hospice agencies to give pain relief and comfort for those near the end, also helping with discharge plans if someone's able to go home. English is mainly spoken, but there's support for many other languages, including Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and more, and the community is part of a bigger health network connected to hospitals and surgery centers like Oregon ENT Center and Providence Medical Centers, so residents can benefit from those partnerships if they need specialty care or outpatient surgery, and those with Alzheimer's or dementia can get specialized services, too. There's always assistance for medicines, chores, and social activities, and the staff aim to make things feel homelike and support every person's quality of life. Management changed in July 2023 to American Healthcare Management Services LLC, and the owner's listed as Accura Healthcare Of The Heartland LLC. Deficiency reports show there have been 35 noted issues lately, including cases where residents or families weren't told quickly enough about an injury or decline, and at least one infection control problem, but nurse turnover is a bit lower than the state average, which can mean a little more consistency in the care team. You won't find them accepting new residents right now, but for those already there, daily life includes help with all basic needs, social and spiritual options, and individualized care planning by a team who wants to support each resident's health, safety, and dignity.
