LaGrande Post Acute Rehab in La Grande, Oregon, is a skilled nursing facility with 76 certified beds, usually serving about 30 residents, and they've focused on providing care for folks who've recently had illnesses, surgery, or injuries and need help getting back on their feet, and the staff is used to handling complex cases with services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, plus short-term rehabilitation. They've recently renovated the place for comfort and accessibility, with rooms that have private bathrooms, cable TV, kitchenettes, telephones, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, plus bright windows and carpeting, and you'll find furnished spaces and emergency alert systems for safety. The center has outdoor areas with walking paths, gardens, and places to relax, and inside you'll find things like a movie theater, a community garden, a spa/sauna room, fitness and activity rooms, a library, and a game room, so there's always something going on, like movie nights, music programs, and daily scheduled activities, with both staff-run and resident-run events.
Dining happens in a restaurant-style setting with meals made by professional chefs, featuring all-day dining, and they take special diets seriously, including allergies and diabetic needs. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and other daily activities, and there's assistance for those who aren't able to get around well or need help after being in the hospital. Nurses and CNAs are around with 24-hour supervision, a 24-hour call system, and 12-16 hour nursing care each day, so there's always someone for medical reminders or emergencies.
They offer specialized Memory Care with secure areas for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's, and care strategies are tailored for individuals needing more supervision or activities to keep their minds active, and staff have training specific to these needs. There's also Respite Care to give caregivers a break or help someone after a hospital stay, and ongoing training programs for staff in dementia, Alzheimer's, and general nursing care, including Medicaid training and caregiver certification.
The community is run by a for-profit corporation and is part of a group that owns several facilities, but it's not in a hospital or a continuing care retirement community. LaGrande Post Acute Rehab takes part in Medicare and Medicaid programs, and aims to keep residents and families involved, holding resident and family councils to discuss care and life quality. Safety is a priority with the whole building fully sprinklered and policies in place to prevent mistreatment, neglect, and abuse. The staff and leadership commit to supporting recovery, providing modern amenities, and keeping a friendly home environment with special attention to individual care and well-being.
