Prescott Country View Nursing Home

Prescott Country View Nursing Home, once located at 301 E Miller St in Prescott, Kansas, was a government-owned skilled nursing facility with a focus on long-term and short-term care for seniors who needed round-the-clock help from trained nursing staff, and you'd find residents who needed daily assistance such as bathing, dressing, taking medicines, or moving around, staying in well-furnished apartments designed for comfort and safety, each with climate controls and emergency call systems for peace of mind, and even though the building had 45 licensed beds, there were 41 residents at last count, and the Medicare records show both 45 and 60 beds counted at different times but only 58% occupancy with 35 actually living there at one point, and people got skilled nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, help with mental health, social work, and also could take part in organized activities and resident groups, plus there was counseling for families and food planned by diet experts with on-site prepared meals and nutrition in mind, and you wouldn't go hungry with dining options on-site or nearby, and being close to three places of worship gave some spiritual chances if folks wanted that. The home had a full sprinkler system, and the community areas allowed for socializing or relaxing, which were nice features for those not wanting to feel shut in or alone, and the staff of CNAs, LPNs, and RNs provided care every day and night, although Medicare gave the place a 1 out of 5 for staffing-which matches the zero nurse hours per resident per day reported in recent audits-and the same score for its health inspection, meaning it had trouble meeting all current health rules, with two deficiencies logged and two penalties amounting to a $5,547 fine, though no formal complaints were proven to have happened, and at the same time the home earned a 4 out of 5 on quality measures based on clinical care, showing the health outcomes were generally good, but those staff and health inspection marks pulled the overall Medicare rating down to just 1 out of 5. Prescott Country View Nursing Home was not located inside a hospital, but it belonged to the local hospital district, and did not share owners with other facilities, offering programs like resident and family councils, caregiver training, dementia and Alzheimer's care courses, home care courses, RAL courses, and had online resources for finding senior care or long-term care planning, and there was a dedicated department for social services to help residents and their families handle needs or questions that came up. You could use Medicare or Medicaid to help pay for services here, and families looking for cost information or details on senior care options could check on their website at https://www.prescottcountryviewnh.com. While many services focused on resident safety, support, and activity, and some said staff were helpful and kind, the facility was permanently closed and is no longer accepting new residents or providing care.
