The Wilshire Skilled Nursing & Therapy

The Wilshire Skilled Nursing & Therapy is a skilled nursing facility with 56 certified beds and has been under managerial control by Bridges Esop, Inc since December 2020, and it's affiliated with Bridges Health. The building is single-story and accepts Medicaid, and the facility's also called Wilshire Nursing Skilled and Therapy. Staff provide skilled nursing care and intermediate care for very frail residents who can't take care of themselves alone and need regular nursing help, and their care planning fits each person's health needs. The place serves residents who need short-term rehabilitation after hospital stays, with therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy for people recovering from strokes, surgeries, broken bones, joint replacements, or illnesses like heart attacks and respiratory problems. There are programs for wound care, diabetes, catheter and colostomy care, as well as cardiac support. The center has a clinical team made up of competent and highly trained people who attend to the residents' daily needs and help with personal hygiene, medication, and laundry. Meals get planned by dietitians to make sure they're both healthy and good-tasting for seniors, and the staff organize activities and events for residents' comfort. There are features and amenities designed to help the residents recover, feel comfortable, and keep some independence. As of now, staffing levels are about 3.76 nurse hours per resident every day, but the nurse turnover rate stands at 70.8%, which means new people come and go from the nursing staff fairly often. The latest inspection reports listed 12 deficiencies, with some issues found in pharmacy services, infection control, and activities to meet personal needs, including a September 2024 citation for infection control and a pharmacy service citation F0761 relating to medication labeling and storage, as well as deficiency F0679 for activities not meeting every resident's needs. Mildred Chapa serves as the Administrator. The facility houses 56 residents in total.
