Renvilla Health Center sits at 205 Southeast Elm Avenue in Renville, Minnesota, and serves as the only facility of its type in the area, running as a non-profit under St. Francis Health Services Of Morris, Inc. The building offers 45 certified beds and usually cares for an average of 35 residents each day, welcoming people who need long-term nursing home care, intermediate care for those who are very frail, and short-term rehab for those going between the hospital and home. Residents can get specialized services like memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, inpatient and outpatient rehab, hospice, respite care, and spiritual care, with nurses and physician-managed teams on hand around the clock to help with anything from medication management to post-surgical support, bathing, feeding, dressing, and restorative care. The facility supports residents with occupational, physical, and speech therapy, as well as nutritional and palliative counseling, recreational therapy, and social services, and holds worship services, group activities, exercise, music therapy, and parties, making some days livelier but always aiming to keep a pleasant, welcoming community feel, with meals made to meet residents' nutrition needs in a comfortable dining area and services like on-site beauty and barber care close by.
This nursing home features some unique touches, including housefronts around a center park in the care area for a more home-like look, along with help from volunteers and staff who often act more like confidantes. Residents' families and friends can join a Family Council and everyone in the building has a say through a Resident Council, which can make daily living a bit smoother for those needing care. Renvilla Health Center's management includes Mari Chambers, Wendy Henning, Cami Peterson Devries, and Carol Raw, keeping things on track according to their focus on compassion, dignity, and faith-based care.
The facility accepts both Medicare and Medicaid and is known for high nurse staffing-reporting 3.37 nurse hours per resident daily, with nurse turnover much lower than the state's average, which can help with consistency. It's earned strong ratings, including an A-minus for nurse quality and an A+ grade following recent inspections, with a long record of high ratings. Still, recent inspection reports as of August 27, 2024, noted five deficiencies involving things like infection prevention, nutrition and food handling, and quality assessment, where staff didn't always set up needed oversight groups or fully document care resources, though there was no actual harm found, only possible risk, and the seriousness got marked at level F, meaning many residents could've been affected. Renvilla Health Center is part of a bigger senior living community called Renville Health Services, and has a home care subsidiary to support those who might live outside the main building.
With both inpatient and outpatient care, for those who need help with rehab, memory support, medical monitoring, or just more comfort in daily living, Renvilla Health Center fits many levels of need, balancing licensed care with opportunities for social life, worship, and simple amenities, all built on a mix of innovation and old-fashioned attention to community, warmth, and faith. Full inspection reports and a list of all service features are available for anyone who wants to look deeper.
