DEC 2017 – Member Profile – Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation & Care Center

Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation & Care Center is a 5 star rated facility by Medicare and Medicaid. They are a 99 bed skilled nursing facility located in Redlands, California. Acquired in 2010 and renovated in 2011, Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation & Care Center is one of the loveliest facilities in Southern California.

Although beautiful and comfortable, Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation & Care Center is a skilled nursing facility which provides several specialized programs to meet the needs of residents. First and foremost is our Stroke/Head trauma program designed to provide a high level of service to those with physical and mental limitations associated with head injuries. The rehabilitation team also excels in orthopedic rehabilitation for knees, backs, hips, etc. – both surgical and non-surgical.

In today’s environment, most skilled nursing facilities desire residents who will remain with the facility for only short term stays receiving skilled nursing or rehabilitation services. At Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation they are not only happy to return residents back to their home after only a short visit, but value their long term residents, the people they grow to know not only as residents, but as friends. It is this relationship that develops activity programs, creates menus, and makes the team better nurses, housekeepers, and managers. Knowing the residents makes it easier to provide a fuller and more enjoyable life for them at the facility. Their hope is that residents look at Asistencia Villa as their home and not as simply a nursing home, no matter their length of stay.

Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation & Care Center offers a premier Stroke/Head Trauma program designed to provide a high level of service to those with physical and mental limitations associated with head injuries. The program includes weekly physician rounds and registered nursing care 24 hours per day.

The facility also prides themselves on their Wound Care Program which provides treatment to a variety of wounds including those attributed to:

• Venous insufficiency
• Arterial insufficiency
• Surgical sites
• Traumatic injury
• Pressure and Diabetes

To address these needs they provide weekly physician evaluations and designated treatment nurses for continuity in monitoring progress and effectiveness of rendered treatments.

Recognizing the clinical complexities already being provided by the staff at Asistencia Villa Rehabilitation & Care Center, they have submitted our application to the California Department of Public Health requesting that 24 of our beds be converted to a sub-acute unit. This will allow Asistencia Villa to further meet the needs of our community in providing much needed services to those residents who often times have difficulty finding placement due to their needs for a higher level of care usually provided in an acute care hospital.
