McDowell Healthcare Center

Mcdowell Healthcare Center, also called Mcdowell Nursing And Rehabilitation Center, is a family-owned skilled nursing facility with 120 certified beds, located in an area with mountain views and close to trails, lakes, parks, and arts centers. The community provides nursing care, short-term and long-term rehabilitation, memory care, assisted living, palliative care, hospice, and wound care along with specialized programs like Honor 360 and Advance 360 for care management, and has an affiliation with Communicare Health. Residents get 12-16 hour nursing care, a 24-hour call system, therapy services such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, help with bathing, dressing, medication, transfers, and assistance for non-ambulatory care, so those who are frail or need advanced medical supervision often call this place home, and there's a 24/7 medical staff for more complex needs like cardiac and pulmonary management. The rooms are studios with different layouts, are fully furnished, and have amenities like private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, which makes life more comfortable for residents, and the community setting includes common areas such as a dining room, movie theater, arts and fitness rooms, salon, computer center, gaming room, library, gardens, and outdoor walking paths, all designed to support both physical and emotional health. Dining is a bit different here, with a professional chef and options for meals all day, as well as care for special diets, and the activities calendar stays busy with bingo, music, arts, therapy dog visits, movie nights, planned outings, and both staff- and resident-run programs to encourage social engagement, all organized in a way that tries to meet each person where they're at. Transportation's provided for both medical and non-medical trips, and other services include housekeeping, linen, laundry, move-in coordination, and support for families, with regular input through resident and family councils to help adjust and improve care. Mcdowell Healthcare Center's inspection records show 19 deficiencies, including issues about Quality of Life and Care (F0684) and Resident Assessment and Care Planning (F0644, F0645), but no actual harm has been recorded, and reports, including a 37.8% nurse turnover rate and 3.71 nurse hours per resident per day, are available as of June 2025 through hospital inspection databases, and the center currently holds a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Medicaid and Medicare are both accepted to help with financial coverage, and the facility offers both short stays for post-hospital rehab and long-term residence, making it suitable for a range of needs, from complex medical support to daily help and activities that keep residents engaged and connected.
