In Rochester, MN, Charter House delivers independent living, nursing home care, hospice care, and skilled nursing care.
Under independent living, a resident gets the community’s services and no daily care. Skilled nursing is the level at which care becomes a nursing job. Hospice care is there for a resident whose treatment has given way to comfort at the end of life. The range holds for a resident whose needs change, because the next level is licensed here too.
Three hundred and thirty beds is high-capacity, and more residents means more programming on the calendar. Total nursing time comes out to 9 hours and 53 minutes per resident, each day, on average. Rehabilitation Services handle the recovery stay after an illness, an injury, or a hospital course, and Short-Term Rehab is named beside it.
A Fitness Center and a Wellness Center are named among the amenities, as are a Salon and a Spa. Garden and Gardening are on the same list, and so is Transportation. Dining and a Café mean a resident has the choice whether to eat in or take food away.
Two payment routes are named, Medicare and private pay. Medicare covers the short skilled stretch of care that follows a hospital stay, and not an open-ended residence; private pay is money out of a family’s own account.
Somewhat walkable is the classification of the area based on its Walk Score of 59; some errands are within walking distance.
