Pioneer Health Care Center splits its work across three care types in Rocky Ford, CO, nursing home care, memory care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home and skilled nursing services mean licensed nursing on site at every hour, and the memory care draws on that same overnight roster. Dementia support here is described by watching rather than by treating. The pairing fits someone needing dementia care with ongoing nursing behind it.
The community takes in 101 beds. A resident’s day here is staffed at 4 hours and 27 minutes of nursing. Short-term rehabilitation and rehabilitation services are both open to a resident recovering before going back to their usual living arrangement.
The Therapy Lab is a named program and keeps the rehabilitation work on site. The area scores 60 for walking, somewhat walkable, which supports part of a day and not the rest. Someone without a car manages some errands alone. The administrator’s name is Mary DiPasquale, and 12th Street Operations runs the community.
