Colonial Acres of Humboldt

Colonial Acres of Humboldt sits as a city-owned facility with a board of directors and is managed by Rural Health Development, Inc., and it's about as full-featured as you'll find with 49 long-term care beds and 14 assisted living apartments that open up for both private and semi-private rooms, with a wing designed for assisted living that can house up to 18 residents, so there's a spot for folks who want independence or those who need more supportive care, and you've got skilled nursing services for seniors with acute conditions alongside memory care, respite care, and hospice on-site, which is a help for those needing end-of-life support, and you've also got a steady mix of independent living, assisted living, retirement community options for folks 55 and older, as well as short- or long-term nursing home services, even care homes and home care if someone wants to age in place with support. Meals are cooked three times daily, plus there's housekeeping and laundry services, and staff includes 24-hour medical personnel, certified therapists, and an ombudsman, while physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants make weekly site visits for ongoing care, so you don't have to worry much about trips out if you can't manage them anymore, and you'll find a consulting registered dietitian, licensed clinical psychologist, and on-site therapy for physical, occupational, or speech needs, even restorative services and things like respiratory therapy. The facility offers state-of-the-art therapy programs in a dedicated rehabilitation room, and there's a driving assessment service if you need to check on driving skills, which can really come in handy. Residents can use free Wi-Fi throughout, get daily and evening activities, enjoy weekly beauty and barber visits, and transportation's provided for clinic visits and specialist appointments in the area. You're also able to get stat lab testing with quick turnaround-usually less than eight hours-and they do swallow studies if there's trouble with dysphasia, and they keep close tabs on vitals, fluid intake and output, daily weights, glucose, INR, oxygen, and even handle things like IV fluids, antibiotics, PICC lines, isolation procedures, surgical drains, and tracheostomies. There's an on-site pharmacy with daily delivery, emergency kits, fast medication order filling, and round-the-clock consulting pharmacist, along with dental, vision, hearing, and podiatry right on the premises. The whole facility is Medicare and Medicaid certified, and they went through recent upgrades in both nursing home and assisted living areas, getting new paint and flooring to make the spaces more pleasant, plus improvements like the calming courtyard area with a three-tiered fountain, a small waterfall, pond, and flower beds that folks can sit by when they want some fresh air. The living room and nursing station were finished in fall of 2021, which helped everyone feel a bit more comfortable, and you're welcome to take a tour if you want to see for yourself how the place is laid out.
