Cooney Healthcare and Rehabilitation

Cooney Healthcare and Rehabilitation sits in a peaceful spot just off I-15 in Helena, Montana, with views of the mountains and a quiet neighborhood all around it, which can really help folks feel at ease. The whole place is built as a single-story building, so moving around's easier, and it feels a lot like home, with modern comforts and spaces designed to give each resident some peace and quiet if they need it, or company if that's what they prefer. Cooney offers certified skilled nursing care, both for short-term rehab after accidents or surgery and for people who need long-term medical help, and they're part of the Providence Health & Services network, so they do keep things up to date and follow solid standards. Folks living here get three meals cooked on-site every day, and staff make sure meals follow any special diets someone might have. There's help with bathing, grooming, medication, and getting around, and there's a bunch of different caregivers, like licensed nurses, physical therapists, speech, and occupational therapists-all working together with a special focus on the unique needs of each person. Memory care is available for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's support for things like dental care and podiatry, too, so you aren't running all over town for appointments. Residents have access to organized social activities, therapy, and even transportation for trips to shops, doctor's appointments, or even worship places. The team has a Plant Manager who keeps laundry and housekeeping under control, a Director of Nursing, an Activities Director, and staff trained in infection control, which has become even more important since COVID-19 started. They really try to make it a home-like place, providing basic essentials for hygiene and living, but recommend bringing comfortable clothes and those little things from home that make someone feel settled, especially for short stays of about a week. Cooney welcomes elderly folks needing skilled nursing, memory care, and even respite care if families need a break, and they tailor rehab services to help people regain independence, often after hospital stays or surgeries. They've set things up so that residents can enjoy safety and comfort with professional support for medical, emotional, and social needs, and they encourage visits so people can meet staff and tour the facilities before deciding. The community spirits and healing mountain views make Cooney a place where people can work toward feeling better, at whatever pace suits them best.
