Mostly short-term rehab stays
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.
Most new residents arrive under Medicare (53% of admissions), and a typical Medicare stay runs around 1 - 2 months.
The average length of stay at Avantara Redfield is 229 days. That number separates this facility from a straightforward short-term rehab model and points to something closer to a mixed population: people working through post-acute recovery alongside others with longer-term care needs. The 58-bed nursing home sits on E 3rd St in Redfield, South Dakota, under the administration of Diane Forgey. It opened about a year ago and currently has 38 of its 58 beds filled.
The clinical program list is broad for a facility this size. Residents recovering from cardiac events, orthopedic procedures, pulmonary conditions, oncology treatment, surgery, and stroke or other neurological conditions each have a dedicated recovery track. Full-time therapists are on-site, and a home assessment is completed before discharge. Total nursing coverage is 2 hours and 54 minutes per resident per day; registered nurses account for 38 minutes of that.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are all accepted, which matters given that stay length: a resident arriving on Medicare short-term benefits may eventually transition to Medicaid, and the facility’s payment structure accommodates that arc. The neighborhood requires a car for most errands (Walk Score 34).
Avantara Redfield serves people who need structured, supervised recovery after a hospital discharge, and its longer-than-average stay data suggests it also holds residents whose care needs extend well past the typical rehab window.
Avantara Redfield is administered by Diane Forgey.
