Katherine Healthcare Center is a nursing home that helps older adults who need a lot of care, and folks here can get both short-term rehab and long-term help if needed. The place is part of the EmpRes group and EHC Management, so it's got some support behind it, and there's a team that makes individual care plans after taking a close look at each person's health and needs. They've got more than 50 beds, and services include skilled nursing, intermediate care for frail adults, and a range of therapies like physical, speech, and occupational in a gym right on-site, and you'll see therapists working with residents seven days a week. If someone's coming out of the hospital and can't go straight home, there's a rehab program to help them recover before they do so. There's discharge planning and nutrition checkups, and staff are there day and night, always ready to help with whatever comes up. Hospice care is available for those who need comfort and support as life goes on. The community staff offers planned support, and they have management tools and informational materials that help keep families and residents in the loop, plus a social services team for support and arranging extra help when things change. Activities are planned daily to keep everyone engaged and connected. Medicaid and Medicare programs are accepted here, and the center has a five-star Medicare rating, which is something people look for. Everything from social services to meals and therapy is here in one place, with services tailored for short stays or long-term situations, depending on what each person needs.
Excellent care but serious safety
I received excellent skilled nursing, strong post-acute rehab and physical therapy (therapists used the gym) and the nurses were great—staff treated me with dignity and felt like family and management was tight and on-site. The facility is older, comfortable, and high-rated, but the food was below average, prices very high, and renal diets were provided. Despite the caring staff, I experienced a serious safety incident that nearly harmed me and I did not feel safe.
