Boundary Community Hospital is proud to announce
that the Extended Care Facility and Nursing Home
has been recognized by the State of Idaho with
its ninth L. Jean Schoonover Award for
Excellence in Caring—the only nursing home in
North Idaho to be so recognized.
Recipients of the award must demonstrate a
dedication and commitment to providing the
highest quality of care to the residents they
serve.
But that's not all. In addition to the award for
excellence, the Extended Care Facility completed
its annual survey by the Idaho Department of
Health and Welfare. Officials conducting the
survey reported that the survey was 100%
deficiency free. The Nutrition Services
Department also had a 100% deficiency free
report.
These are excellent examples of the quality of
care that our hospital and extended care
facility employees are providing to the
community, especially those that need long term
and skilled nursing care.
The Extended Care Facility at Boundary Community
Hospital is a licensed skilled nursing home with
a physician on staff to supervise each
resident’s care. The facility provides both
long-term and rehabilitative or short-term
residency. The highly-skilled staff understand
and specialize in long term care, bringing a
special nurturing atmosphere that can be felt
every day throughout the facility.
Take a look at the accompanying photograph for a
recent example, where residents took an
excursion recently for a fishing outing to Smith
Lake.
