Haxtun Health: Premier Geriatric Care for Your Loved Ones

Nestled in the heart of our community, Haxtun Health is more than just a care facility; it is a sanctuary of compassion and excellence. Our dedicated Extended Care Unit team is committed to providing an enriching and nurturing environment where your loved ones can thrive. With a focus on personalized care and a comprehensive range of services, we ensure that every resident feels valued, supported, and at home.

At Haxtun Health, we understand that the decision to move a loved one into a care facility isn’t an easy one. Families need to feel a sense of warmth and reassurance that their loved one is receiving the best care possible. Our dedicated team of skilled nurses and CNAs provide low nurse-to-patient ratios, allowing for ample one-on-one time and personalized attention. Dr. Hansen, DO, our primary care provider for our Extended Care Unit, brings more than 5 years of experience in caring for the geriatric population, ensuring expert medical oversight for our residents.

“Our 24/7 nursing care ensures that residents receive continuous, professional care, while our in-house providers are always available to address any medical concerns that may arise,” stated Rajsha Sanchez, Extended Care Unit Nurse Manager at Haxtun Health. The convenience of a local pharmacy further enhances the level of care we provide, ensuring that medications are readily available and managed efficiently by experienced and skilled staff.

Our restorative care programs are tailored to help residents regain and maintain their physical abilities, promoting independence and a higher quality of life. For caregivers in need of a temporary respite, our respite care services offer peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are in capable and caring hands. Additionally, Haxtun Health’s occupational, physical, and speech therapy services are dedicated to supporting residents in improving their daily living skills, mobility, communication abilities, and swallowing difficulties.

Consistent engagement and social interaction are vital to the well-being of our residents. At Haxtun Health, we offer a variety of daily activities that keep residents active and socially connected, fostering a sense of community and belonging. “Our Activities Director continuously offers different events and activities for our beloved residents. She partners with our Physical Therapy Department to offer various exercise classes, allowing residents to participate in additional physical activities outside of their scheduled PT treatments,” Sanchez added.

Our well-balanced meals, served three times a day, are not only nutritious but also cater to the dietary needs and preferences of our residents, promoting overall health and wellness. With the help of our Speech and Language Pathologist, Linda Falk, MS, we assist residents who may struggle with swallowing, a common concern in the aging population. Assistance involves exercise and the thickening or thinning/blending of foods and liquids.

Haxtun Health currently has beds available and is ready to welcome new residents into our compassionate community. “At Haxtun Health, we believe that your loved ones deserve the very best, and we are dedicated to providing it,” stated Sanchez. “Our team is here to support you and your family through this important transition, ensuring that your loved ones receive the care and attention they deserve.”
