Highlands Health and Rehabilitation Center

Highlands Health And Rehabilitation Center has 154 certified beds and usually about 144 residents each day, and the nurses here spend an average of 3.13 hours per resident daily, which is lower than the state average of 3.9 hours, though the nurse turnover rate is a bit lower than most places in the state at 42.1%. You'll see that this is a for-profit facility owned by Highlands Nursing And Rehabilitation Holdings LLC, with David Marx having the full indirect ownership, and it does have a total of 29 deficiencies on inspection reports, including 2 for infection control, so it's had some issues meeting certain federal standards about preventing the spread of infections but the facility says they've got plans to make improvements, especially with things like medication management and upkeep. They do both short-term rehab and long-term care, offering 24-hour skilled nursing and helping with daily tasks like getting dressed, moving around, and managing medications, plus there's therapy for balance, IV therapy, and diabetes care, with a staff trained to support seniors. The rooms have seen some remodeling work for comfort, and the activities staff plans outings to bookstores, the movies, and Golden Corral, so residents get outings beyond the facility walls. There's some flexibility with services, too, since they can help set up mental health consultations, x-rays, lab work, podiatry visits, hospice care, and private home care if people need that, and the care teams aim to work with residents to try to improve their skills and keep them as independent as possible. People say the caregivers here are friendly and that the place feels positive, and the care staff wants to give the best care they can, though it's worth knowing that like most places, it's still got some things it's trying to fix.
