Overview of Baptist Health & Rehab

Cassia Services owns Baptist Health & Rehab, a 140-bed nursing home at 3400 Nebraska Dr in Bismarck, North Dakota. Deanna runs it as Administrator. It’s been part of the area for around eight years, offering nursing home care, assisted living, and hospice care under one roof.

Don’t expect to walk anywhere nearby, as the Walk Score sits at 6. That’s just about as car-dependent as it gets.

The numbers point to a facility that’s nearly full and serving a mixed population. Occupancy runs at 97.5%, and the average resident stays 395 days, well over a year, though plenty of residents arrive for shorter Medicare-covered rehab stays before moving on. Nursing staff put in just over 5 hours of total care per resident each day. Coverage-wise, Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which opens the door for families regardless of how they’re paying.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab cover residents working toward going home, while a long-term skilled nursing program serves those who need ongoing care. Spiritual care and basic care round out the medical side. Day to day, residents have bright, individual rooms, emergency pendants for quick help, restaurant-style dining, walking paths, special events, and religious services.

Baptist Health & Rehab is a busy, nearly full nursing home built to handle two different kinds of residents at once: people working through short-term rehab and people who need skilled nursing care for the long haul.

Overview of The Baptist Apartments – Prairie Pointe

The Baptist Apartments, Prairie Point, lists four care types in Bismarck, ND. Hospice care, assisted living, skilled nursing, and nursing home care are all licensed here. Thirty-two beds is small, which keeps short the list of names a resident has to learn.

Assisted living covers dressing, bathing, and medication for someone who wants the rest of the day left alone. The nursing home and skilled nursing designations are the ones that carry ongoing nursing needs, and round-the-clock staffing is on the service list. Hospice care is here for the end of a life, once comfort has replaced recovery as the point.

Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab both appear, which is the recovery track. Respite care covers a brief stay, useful when a person needs someone in the building rather than a nursing procedure. Because all four are licensed here, a change in what a resident needs is not also a change of building.

Medicaid is on the accepted payment list, and for many families, that is the route in. Walkability scores 85 here, which puts most errands inside walking distance.

Overview of Edgewood Bismarck Senior Living

Edgewood Bismarck Senior Living offers assisted living, adult day care, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Bismarck, ND. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living helps with daily tasks and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision. Respite care is available for a short stay, and adult day care provides daytime services for someone who returns home afterward.

The community has 38 beds. Its programs include 55+ Living Options, Short-Term Stays, and Adult Day Services, covering housing, temporary stays, and daytime arrangements. Independent living, assisted living, and memory care together can suit a resident whose care needs may change over time without requiring a move to another community. The area has a Walk Score of 85, making it very walkable, with most errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives may still be able to reach nearby destinations independently.

Valley View Heights is a nursing home in Bismarck, North Dakota, offering nursing, assisted living, and skilled nursing care at 2500 Valley View Avenue. The community is built around 64 apartment units across a two-story building, with private rooms throughout, so each resident has their own space. It sits about 2.6 miles from the center of Bismarck and roughly a mile and a half from CHI St. Alexius Health Bismarck Emergency and Trauma Center, which is worth noting for anyone weighing how close hospital care would be in an emergency.

Staffing runs around the clock, which matters for families thinking about response time if something happens overnight. The care here extends past general availability to hands-on mobility support, with staff trained to help residents transfer between bed and wheelchair. That kind of physical assistance points to a setting equipped for residents with real day-to-day care needs rather than only light help.

Daily life is handled comprehensively. Meals, housekeeping, and personalized personal care cover the essentials, while a hair salon, chapel services, and a regular activities calendar round out the parts of life beyond direct care. Transportation services are available for trips off the property, and the community offers fitness and recreation as well.

The neighborhood scores 27 out of 100 for walkability, meaning a few nearby services are reachable on foot but most outings will involve a car. For families, that puts the focus on what the community itself provides, and here that covers a full slate of daily support.
