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.
