Sandpiper Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center offers several care options like nursing home stays, rehabilitation, respite care, long-term skilled nursing, memory care, and services for Alzheimer's. The facility's recently renovated buildings have modern medical equipment, a therapy gym, comfortable lounges, and both private and semi-private rooms, though some reports mention holes in the walls and maintenance problems, so the place can feel new in some spots but worn in others. Residents get full medical attention, with attending doctors and registered nurses making unique care plans and staff on hand around the clock, while nurse turnover runs high at about 67.3% and total nursing hours per resident sits at 3.79 per day for an average of 73 residents out of 104 certified beds. There's a secured dementia wing for memory care, plus a safety system for those with cognitive issues, and transportation to appointments or outings happens regularly.
Sandpiper has a therapy gym and tailored orthopedic and rehabilitation programs, and the staff helps people recover from hospital stays with Transitional Care Units, aiming to send them home or to a more independent setting when possible. Rooms come with cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and some have kitchenettes and private bathrooms; the staff supplies phones for resident use, and rooms are offered furnished if needed. Meals are made fresh by a professional chef, served restaurant-style with options for allergies or special diets, and residents can eat in the dining room or order room service, and guests are invited for meals too. There's a full calendar of activities, from religious services and arts and crafts to holiday parties, music programs, live shows, and movie nights in the facility's theater room, and people spend time in the activity room, computer room, game room, or outside on the patio, gardens, or walking paths.
Onsite, laundry and housekeeping are taken care of, mail and newspapers are delivered, and medication is managed by staff. The building is fully air-conditioned, with Wi-Fi and high-speed Internet throughout, and an emergency alert system is always working. Residents can use the salon, barber, fitness room, spa area, and community gathering rooms. The environment is pet-friendly, and the place does its best to accommodate individual needs, whether for dental, vision, or podiatry care, or making meals that meet each resident's nutrition plans created by dietitians and nutritionists. Family support and move-in coordination are offered, and the staff works to create a family-like setting where some caregivers have stayed for years.
Sandpiper's administration belongs to Midwest Recover Care LLC and aligns with Recover Care Healthcare, running all standard types of nursing facility programming. The site accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. Inspection history shows a total of 33 deficiencies, including three related to infections, and there are reports about pharmacy services deficiencies (F0761) and nutrition and dietary standards (F0812), so there's room for improvement in those areas. Staff assist with activities of daily living like dressing and bathing and provide help for folks who can't get around by themselves. Nursing coverage is strong with up to 16 hours daily care, and 24-hour supervision with a call system is standard. Many residents come for both short and long stays, and the center tries to focus on restoring independence and promoting a good quality of life by meeting each person's needs as well as possible.
