Pittsburg Health And REHABILITATION CENTER, also known as Pittsburg Care & Rehabilitation Center, LLC, sits as a healthcare facility with 86 certified beds, usually serving around 51 residents each day, and offers a wide range of skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. The facility covers both short-stay and long-term care, and provides transition, respite, palliative, and comfort care plans for folks needing them, and if a person has orthopedic, cardiac, pulmonary, or sepsis recovery needs, the staff has special programs for those conditions, plus they handle chronic health challenges like IV therapy, trach care, PEG or NG tube management, Trilogy ventilator support, and wound care including advanced wound vacs for complex wounds. Residents with respiratory needs like CPAP, BiPAP, and pulmonary conditions will find help, and there's on-site therapy for speech, physical, and occupational goals, all taking place in dedicated therapy spaces, with supervision and skilled nursing available round the clock, and a 12 to 16-hour window with more direct nursing care.
The center includes a special Alzheimer's unit, so residents with memory challenges can have focused, safe support, while on the social side, daily activities and resident-run events give chances to stay active, and there's a movie theater, a game room, barber and beauty services, outdoor spaces and gardens for walking or just relaxing, and organized wellness programs for both the body and mind, plus fitness classes, group outings, and community and family council meetings to talk through concerns or ideas. Meals get served restaurant-style, with options for allergies or diabetes, plus all-day dining, and each room-whether private or semi-private-has a private bathroom, kitchenettes, cable TV, WiFi, a phone, air conditioning, and comes fully furnished for comfort, and whether folks want quiet time or to join in, there's WiFi, social lounges, activity rooms, and a wellness center.
Residents can get help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, transferring, and medication management, and for chores like laundry, housekeeping, and linen changes, there's staff ready to step in, with transportation for medical visits or errands arranged as needed, and move-in coordination is available when starting out. Family support services are part of the program too, and the place lets people pay with Medicaid and Medicare, giving families options, especially since it sits inside a larger Continuing Care Retirement Community with more housing and levels of care.
The administration, under Whitney Buckle, follows procedures and oversight by several companies, most recently managed by Mission Health Communities, LLC, Pittsburg Operator, LLC, and direct owner Coronado Operator, LLC, with other companies owning smaller parts, and there haven't been ownership changes in the past year. The facility keeps nurse staffing at about 3.46 nurse hours per resident each day, which is below the state average of 4.0 hours, and recent records show 40 documented deficiencies, including some related to assessments, residents' rights and preferences, food procurement and handling, and infection control, as seen in the May 2024 inspection report listing five deficiencies, two of which were infection-related. Residents, staff, and families can give feedback through organized councils, and the staff aim to meet all residents' physical, mental, and emotional needs as best as possible.
