Skilled
Nursing Care
Pelican Valley Nursing Home provides 24-hour care for
38 residents. Both long and short-term needs are served.
Quality Nursing Care
The quality of care we provide is accomplished by staff who are trained and/or certified to care for the individual needs of each resident. We provide
nursing care according to each resident's particular functioning level, ranging from early dementia to medically complex needs. Hospice services are available, as appropriate.
Care of the resident is directed by an attending physician. Residents have the convenience of using our clinic that is attached to the nursing home for easy access to care provided by
MeritCare.
A Licensed Registered Dietitian Consultant works with our dietary and nursing staff to provide an ongoing assessment of each resident's nutritional status. We focus on a "liberalized diet system" that allows residents to eat freely, however specialized diets are provided when appropriate.
