St. Anthony Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center sits at 1400 West 21st Street in Clovis, New Mexico, and offers a mix of short-term rehabilitation, long-term nursing care, respite care, assisted living, hospice, and home health services, and while the building has 70 beds and is part of the nationwide Genesis HealthCare network, the daily routines feel home-like with family involved and staff, like Medical Director Dr. Thomas Wulf, focusing on each person's needs. Residents can choose from private or semi-private rooms in a 47,000-square-foot facility that has a chapel, activity rooms, a beauty salon, sunroom, and comfortable common areas, and people often mention the gardens and courtyards as nice places to get some fresh air. Dining rooms, in-room meal options, coffee available all day, and art activities add something for folks wanting a calm and supportive space, and a therapy department handles physical, occupational, and speech therapy for folks coming in after a hospital stay or living here long-term, with extra attention for wound care, vision and podiatry visits, pain management, and even interpreter services when needed. St. Anthony's offers help with daily needs, medication management, care planning, and coordinates rides to outside appointments, and the place keeps security tight with alarm systems and a 24-hour alert response, especially for people dealing with memory issues.
The team coordinates with families and works with Nurse Practitioners and registered nurses, case managers, and outside providers, all while providing laundry, cleaning, mail, phone services, cable TV, and pharmaceutical deliveries, and the place tries to give residents activities for fun, faith, and connection whether with events, religious services, or just sitting together in a lounge. Insurance is accepted through Medicaid, Medicare, and most private carriers, and discharge planning helps people transition back home or to another care setting. St. Anthony has a CMS overall rating of 2 out of 5 stars and has faced federal fines and violations over recent years for problems with safety, food handling, staff posting, and infection control, and inspectors have found risks ranging from medication mistakes or fall hazards to problems with essential equipment and residents' emotional wellbeing. Families should know that New Mexico laws protect residents' rights-abuse or neglect can lead to legal action and felony charges, and the facility is required to report suspected issues. While staff and therapy get some positive words from families and ratings from residents average about 3.8 out of 5, there've been documented incidents causing harm, including broken bones, bed sores, infections, and emotional damage, and claims made against the facility have sometimes led to large settlements. St. Anthony's provides different levels of care and services, but reviewing recent inspection history and considering needs is important when picking a nursing home.
