About Dunseith Community Nursing Home
Dunseith Community Nursing Home sits at 15 1st St NE in Dunseith, ND, and it's got 30 nursing facility beds for folks needing round-the-clock nursing care, so you get skilled nurses and personal help no matter what time it is, and they've got 24/7 staff to make sure residents are safe and supported. They've been caring for seniors since 1978, and they take both Medicare and Medicaid. The building offers single bedrooms, semi-private rooms, and some studios with basic, helpful layouts. They help with bathing, dressing, eating, moving around, continence care, and can spoon-feed or help folks get in and out of bed if that's needed. They also do restorative therapy and have therapy programs for physical, speech, and occupational needs. They offer three meals a day, snacks, and a dementia-friendly menu, and there's a private dining room along with a bigger dining hall.
Around the property, there are walking trails, a hair salon, a library area, a chapel, and a theatre room, so residents don't feel stuck, and the staff keeps things going with arts and crafts, birthday parties, computer classes, and fall prevention programs. The staff, including Felicia Parisien, Heather Tertrault, and Heather Thompson, are known in the area for being joyful, helpful, and kind, and they lead a team trained for clinical excellence and well-being. They provide respite care so caregivers get a break when needed, and if someone's healing up from something, rehabilitation and restorative therapy is available to help them get back on their feet. They've got both short- and long-term care for those with both physical and mental health care needs and they handle Alzheimer's care for folks needing extra supervision to prevent wandering.
The campus also includes Park View Assisted Living in Rolla for memory care and assisted living, Presentation Care Center in Rolette for more active seniors who need some help with day-to-day things, and Lakeview Garden as a home for those not quite ready for full nursing care, so the place fits a broad group of needs. Security's taken seriously with emergency call systems, on-call nurses, regular health checks, pharmacy help, and a registered dietitian. Pets aren't allowed, but residents can enjoy the gardens and social atmosphere, and visitors have access to parking space. Special amenities include concierge services, laundry and linen help, a bistro, and even moving service if someone's coming in from home or hospital.
With about 4,000 people living nearby, shops, churches, retail, and medical offices aren't far away. They offer resident and family counseling, support groups, and keep every individual's care plan up to date. All those things blend together for a simple, safe, and friendly environment, and federal inspections show a Medicare rating of 3 out of 5 stars, with nine deficiencies and two incidents noted in recent surveys, so there are things that do come up from time to time, but the focus is always on nursing care and keeping residents comfortable and secure. The facility also received Best of Senior Living awards and gets high marks for meals and resident engagement, and though things aren't perfect, the staff strives to keep people cared for through attention, activity, and respect.
