Life is a journey.  We travel ups and downs and winding roads as we experience the journey. Most of us learn to take one day at a time.  Some of us don’t.

Integrity Healthcare of Cobden has a very unique recovery plan for our residents.  We provide excellent behavior health services, but we’ve added something really special.

Journey of Hope programming is designed to help our residents make the necessary adjustments and make all the right turns in their journey.  We want them to find a route that will include teaching them all the life skills they need to return to a more independent home in the community.  We provide them with the best psychosocial services, so their journey includes plenty of interaction with friends and family, and so their journey includes the ability to get along in a workplace or social settings.

We don’t want them to stay with us forever.  We create a specific plan for each resident and happily transition them to the community, when the time comes.

We’ve had many success stories in this program.  Residents come to us with very basic skills and by the time they are ready to leave, they are confident that they will make it on their own.  Sometimes we help arrange housing.  Sometimes we help find employment.  What we always work towards is creating a high level of self esteem.

We are dedicated to preparing our residents to leave us, so they make all the right turns as they continue their Journey of Hope.   We are Integrity!  We provide Care You Can Trust.

We provide a full range of nursing services, including provision of prescribed medical treatment and medication, pain management, restorative care, enteral therapy, respiratory care, intravenous therapy, wound and post-surgical care.

We have a wound care physician that provides an on-site assessment as needed.  The physician is on site on a weekly basis.  Staff provide progressive wound care treatment and therapeutic mattresses.

Integrity Healthcare of Cobden provides a professional team of therapists that strive to achieve the desired outcome of our patients, families, and referral sources.  Therapists help residents strengthen muscles to improve every day living skills and treat a wide range of problems associated with strokes and other diseases that can affect physical functioning and speech.  With the assistance of our rehab team, we will lead the way to your recovery and maintain or increase your highest level of functioning abilities.

The culture of acknowledgement is practiced everyday in Integrity Healthcare of Cobden.  Staff acknowledge each other.  Staff acknowledge residents.  Residents are comfortable acknowledging staff and each other.  However, acknowledgement runs much deeper than a simple greeting.

The leadership team at IHC Cobden meets on a daily basis to discuss the needs of the residents.  They discuss their community’s population as a whole, and they discuss individual residents.  Sometimes their meetings seem more like focus groups or educational sessions because they solve problems and create new methods for ‘acknowledging’ their residents’ needs.  They generate new practices, and they evaluate the outcomes.

This is where the team asks questions of themselves about the level of Quality of Life within the walls of their facility.  They focus on various categories of services and projects including religious, recreational, music and arts.  Of course, they focus on social services, dietary, rehabilitation and housekeeping.  Nursing services are continually evaluated, and a top level of excellence is expected.

RESIDENT OF THE MONTH

Integrity Healthcare of Cobden recognized Royce Chapman as the Resident of the Month for June. Congratulations Royce and thank you for your kindness.

Zoom!  Zoom! … Revved Up Rehab!  Zoom! is our accelerated therapy program.  After a stroke, after surgery or after a traumatic accident, our therapy program will return your loved one to their home as soon as possible. With highly skilled licensed therapists, we provide physical, occupational and speech therapy, and we work diligently to optimize the outcome for our residents.

Families are often faced with the life-changing challenges that come after a loved one has experienced trauma. Surgeries, auto accidents, falls, strokes, heart attacks or the debilitating effects of cancer … all leave patients with the need to reduce pain while they rebuild strength and mobility.  Zoom! puts that process on the fast track!
