Immanuel Skilled Care Center in Kalispell, MT provides a nursing-home level of service designed for individuals who need continuous clinical oversight. The center also accepts short-stay residents seeking respite care or focused rehabilitation following surgery, illness, or injury, offering a bridge between hospital discharge and a return to everyday life.
Around-the-clock licensed nurses handle medication management, wound care, and coordination with attending physicians, while certified nursing assistants support daily living tasks. On-site physical, occupational, and speech therapists deliver goal-oriented treatment plans, and interdisciplinary staff meet regularly to adjust care strategies and develop discharge plans that address equipment, home modifications, and follow-up appointments.
Resident rooms come in several layouts; some open to maintained outdoor areas and gardens, and a few include a fireplace that can add warmth during Montana winters. A limited number of units feature a washer and dryer for residents who prefer to handle personal laundry, but not every accommodation offers every feature, so it is best to confirm availability during a visit.
Meals are prepared three times a day and served in the communal dining room, with menus created under dietitian guidance to support physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium or diabetic plans. Healthy snacks are offered between meals to help residents maintain consistent energy and meet nutritional goals.
Daily life is rounded out by an activity center that hosts arts and crafts workshops, fitness and wellness classes, reading groups, and various clubs and community gatherings. Residents can also spend time in the library and computer lounge to read, go online, or join scheduled discussion sessions, encouraging both mental engagement and social connection.
