Russell Regional Hospital - Long Term Care Unit

Russell Regional Hospital - Long Term Care Unit sits on the third floor of the main hospital in Russell, Kansas, and is home to Main Street Manor, the long-term care area with 21 beds set up for people who need skilled nursing and extra help day and night. The whole hospital dates back to 1942 and runs as a non-profit, sticking to Kansas Department of Aging rules with trained staff that include Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, CNA's, social workers, and maintenance workers who look after the building. They've got a total of 23 long-term care beds, with private and semi-private options, and an average of five residents for each staff member so folks get plenty of attention. The care team helps with bathing, dressing, medication, transferring, and regular meals, with special diets like for diabetes if needed, and always someone on hand 24/7 for supervision and help with daily activities. Main Street Manor is right in the hospital, which means residents get full access to acute care, wound care, a rehabilitation gym, memory care, outpatient services, and clinic visits, along with a small library, outdoor garden, arts room, and a dining area that looks out over Main Street. The place is set up with furnished rooms-each with a phone-and some have kitchenettes for people who still want to cook a bit for themselves. There are mental wellness programs, crafts, movies, support for different insurance needs, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and emergency alert systems. The staff organizes both resident-run and community activities, and there's a walking path, fitness trail, and even salon services and a gathering space for when families come by. They stick to a family-friendly atmosphere, try to keep things relaxed and comfortable, and have a 24-hour supervision system so everyone's watched over. Because Main Street Manor sits inside Russell Regional Hospital, anyone living there has quick access to surgery and emergency care, lab and X-ray services, as well as counseling, social work, meal service, and specialty clinic appointments. The staff does regular training to keep care levels high, and they follow a charting system to keep track of each patient's medical needs. They take Medicaid and Medicare, plus other insurance types, and keep five beds open for new residents as of June 2025. The hospital, main campus, clinics, and Main Street Manor all work together to provide different levels of care, focusing on long-term, chronic, and elderly care, with 501(c)3 non-profit status and a focus on the surrounding community.
