Nursing time at Timely Mission Nursing Home reaches 3 hours and 58 minutes per resident daily. That figure is coupled with its 42 beds in Buffalo Center. The overnight is not treated as a gap of care, and a licensed nurse is scheduled into it the way one is scheduled for regular supervision and care. A major operation comes with a therapy course that will have a known program and a predicted length; rehabilitation and short-term rehab run that course inside the building, and that’s better than having to drive to an appointment at a clinic twice a week during the recovery process.

Respite often starts on discharge day. The hospital may be finished before the household is ready, like if ramps aren’t built yet or the grab bars haven’t been installed; a short stay covers the difference.

Medicare pays for skilled care after a qualifying admission and then reaches its limit. Medicaid picks up where savings run short, and private pay covers the rest as it must.

A garden, a gazebo, and outdoor seating give residents somewhere to potter about or rest in good weather. Transportation is arranged through the home. Sunday church services, Bible study, gardening, holiday events, and Happy Hour fill out the rest of the week. Alida Sandberg serves as administrator.
