Mission at Alpine Rehabilitation Center is a non-profit care center in Alpine that focuses on helping people live in a community while getting health care and rehabilitation, and there are 52 certified beds with an average of about 39 residents each day, and it's run by Mission Health Services since April 2017 with Gary Kelso as manager during that same time. The place offers short-term therapy, skilled nursing, long-term care, and post-acute care, and those who need physical, occupational, or speech therapy will find dedicated therapy areas and programs to help with recovery, whether for inpatient or outpatient needs, and the center pays special attention to rehabilitation, orthopedic care after hip or knee surgery, wound care, pain management, and post-stroke recovery.
Residents get personal care with things like bathing, grooming, dressing, meals, and medication support, and there's also support for walking, wheelchairs, and help with daily activities, and for those with memory problems like dementia or Alzheimer's, there's a secured memory care unit and staff who offer special programs and meaningful activities, including arts, crafts, and wellness classes with a licensed recreational therapist. Adults with intellectual and cognitive disabilities can also get specialized care and services. Registered nurses and personal care assistants work at the center, but the nurse turnover rate is 38.5%, and residents get an average of 2.71 nurse hours each day, and there have been some inspection deficiencies, including infection control issues (codes F0883 and F0727) and safety concerns listed in federal reports, plus a standard inspection in November 2023 showed seven deficiencies, two of them about infection prevention.
Everyone at Mission at Alpine gets access to meals made to order with flexible meal times, snacks and drinks in the kitchenette all day, and daily housekeeping and laundry, and the building has private suites, flat screen TVs with cable, guest parking, internet, fitness rooms, a salon/barbershop, washers, dryers, and housekeeping, and you'll also find safety equipment, fire sprinklers, security systems, handicap access, and well-kept outdoor spaces where folks can enjoy the fresh air. The facility offers transportation to medical appointments and has a culture that values social activities, education, and inclusion, and they don't discriminate against anyone based on race, age, religion, color, , disability, or national origin. There are specific features carefully arranged for wound care, nutrition, podiatry, IVs, PICC lines, vestibular therapy, enteral feedings, and there's attention given to comfort and safety, but the inspection reports do mention the center is working on keeping the place free from accident hazards, preventing infection spread, maintaining quality of life, and following policies for vaccinations, and while these are areas for improvement, the center remains focused on offering care that fits each person's needs and supports both recovery and quality of life.
