My father was at Elk River Health and Nursing Center of Winchester for skilled nursing after his hospital stay. It's more of a rehabilitation/skilled nursing, and it's two to a room. They do rehabilitation like physical, occupational, and speech. That's where a lot of inpatients that need rehabilitation after their hospital stay go initially. They were very expensive. My dad didn't like the food there, and he said that one of the techs was not very kind to him and would rough handle him. He didn't like that. My mother got upset with them because they tried to put other medications on my father, which made him drowsy, and he wasn't getting much rehabilitation because of it. My dad wasn't going to be happy there. He wanted to get out of there. Of course, they wanted him out, too. It's more of a nursing home than assisted living because that's exactly what it is. They're in the bed. The bad thing about it is you got all these nurses and techs, but if they don't have the rehabilitation people there working with them to get them up, they're just laying in bed and they're getting the medications and all of that. If I got older, I would not want to go there. Some staff members were OK and some were not. They're supposed to provide a high level of care. It's very expensive, but the value of what they get is not good. Medicare was paying for him for up to 100 days, so my dad didn't have to pay when he was there. When my mother asked them, "Should he have to stay beyond that, how much would it cost?" They said it would be about $109,000 a year based on what my dad's needs were. That's a whole lot of money. You have techs, nurses, and rehabilitation people, so there were lots of high-level staff. Elk River, for that kind of money for what he was getting, not liking the food, and then one or two people rough handling him, then that's a 1 on value.
