Midwest Covenant Home

Midwest Covenant Home is a non-profit, church-related care facility in Stromsburg that has 58 certified beds and usually houses about 49 residents, so the occupancy rate sits around 84%, and you can see the place is independent from any hospital, and while the building isn't fully sprinklered, they still have safety protocols in place to try and prevent accidents, and the staff includes registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and certified nursing assistants (CNAs), giving about 4.2 nurse staffing hours per resident each day, with a 3 out of 5 rating for both staffing and quality, sitting at an average daily census of about 41.8 people. Midwest Covenant Home works with both Medicare and Medicaid, and they don't have any special focus facility status to note, though one fine of $9,750 was imposed in the past related to safety or quality, but there haven't been any substantiated complaints, and they try to stick to care standards for things like pressure sore management. They're not a continuing care retirement community, but they do offer independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and in-home care, including specialized care for Alzheimer's, and provide support for activities of daily living-helping with things like bathing, dressing, and medication management-plus skilled nursing care after surgery, illness, or hospitalization, with nurses on call 24 hours and hands-on skilled support 12 to 16 hours per day. You'll find amenities like furnished rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phone lines, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and daily meal services that can cater to diabetes and allergies, and they have a professional chef looking after diets, so folks don't have to worry if they need something special. There's restaurant-style dining, all-day dining options, and meal service organized for different schedules, and community features include a movie theater, a library, walking paths, gardens, activity rooms, outdoor programs, fitness rooms and classes, as well as scheduled daily events, plus extra touches like an emergency alert system, move-in help, and a concierge. Residents and their families take part in councils to raise concerns and discuss improvements, and services cover laundry, housekeeping, transportation, parking, and support for families, with health offerings like physical and occupational therapy, and resources for education and senior support through Polk County Senior Services. The community's committed staff works to keep things well maintained, and protocols are in place for vaccinations-like flu and pneumonia shots-so health and safety stay top of mind, and the mix of support covers restorative care, skilled nursing, assisted living, and nursing placement, serving seniors and their changing needs in one spot under the business name MIDWEST COVENANT HOME, INC. and CMS number 285062, letting folks stay part of the community whether they need full nursing care, a bit of help around the apartment, or just a safe independent home with company and support.
