Stanton Nursing & Rehabilitation

Stanton Nursing and Rehabilitation, built in 1974, is located just 20 minutes from both Midland and Big Springs in rural Stanton, Texas.

If a friendly country setting is your preference, then Stanton Nursing and Rehabilitation is the facility of choice.  Our staff is committed to delivering excellent and individualized care.

Long-term Care: When in-home care or assisted living is no longer enough, 24-hour care may be necessary for those with chronic needs. Our staff is available to provide skilled nursing care and assistance with daily living activities while maintaining dignity of life.

Rehabilitation: Our in-house Rehabilitation Department is available to design a program specifically to meet the needs of each patient. Unlike acute rehabilitation centers, we do not require that patients be able to tolerate a minimum of three hours of therapy per day. Patients are allowed to enter a rehab program at their own physical levels and to increase their level of therapy until reaching their potential. In addition to traditional rehabilitation methods, our therapy team utilizes some of the most modern technology to address the complex needs of patients with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.

Hospital to Home
When transitioning from hospital to home, many individuals benefit from a short stay in a skilled nursing facility. An interdisciplinary care-team of health care experts includes Physicians, Nurses, Physical and Occupational Therapists, Speech-language Pathologists, Dieticians, Recreational Therapists, and licensed Social Workers. This team works to develop a specific plan of care that addresses individual needs in order to meet goals as quickly as possible and expedite the return home.

Specialty: Our Secure Unit is designed for the safety and care of individuals showing symptoms of exit seeking, wandering, and pacing that often develop with Alzheimer's and Dementia.

Hospice Care: As part of our services, we offer a form of palliative care designed for residents who require specialized care and comfort without using heroic lifesaving measures. We contract with several hospice organizations that provide palliative services and counseling for the resident and family.

Respite Care: When a caregiver needs a temporary break, we offer relief by providing room, board, medication management, and supervision to those who are in his or her care. These stays may be as short as three days or as long as a month. Respite care is subject to bed availability.

Recreational/Social Events : All of our residents are offered the opportunity to participate in group exercise and activities, religious services, weekly socials, bingo and games, monthly birthday parties, and the Red Hat Society.

Semi-private rooms, free Cable TV, Laundry and Housekeeping Services, Sun room, and outside Courtyard.

Proposed assisted living change stirs anger

Tamara Pirkle skipped work Wednesday to join about 250 people crowded into a Department of Community Health public hearing.

Her sentiment was almost universal among the folks that filled the downtown Atlanta boardroom and spilled into an overflow area with video monitors and into the hallways. "Don't change the rules on assisted living facilities," Pirkle said.

A proposed rule change before the DCH would require that everyone living at an assisted living facility be able to exit the building under his or her own power during an emergency such as a fire.

Should the new rule pass, those who would need help getting out could be forced to transfer to nursing homes, which generally are more expensive and are required to have more staffers on hand.

Already, the state is backing off the proposed changes as currently written, said Doug Colburn, the DCH's director of health care facility regulation.

"At the end of the day, it won't be a rule that will put people out of an assisted living home, or put anyone out of business," he said.

"What we ultimately put forward, won't be this," he said.

More than 30,000 Georgians live in thousands of assisted living facilities across the state, according to Genia Ryan, the president of the Georgia chapter of the Assisted Living Federation of America.

The idea proposed by the DCH staff is to make assisted living facilities as safe as nursing homes, said Colburn.

Pirkle, of Sandy Springs, has a 90-year-old grandmother, Joyce Dyer, who lives at the Dogwood Forest assisted living facility in Alpharetta.

"If there's a fire alarm or such, she'd need someone to take her by the arm and direct her to an exit," Pirkle said. "They are totally capable of doing that at Dogwood. But if they say she has to do it on her own, she can't do it. We'd have to move her."

Wednesday's meeting, which lasted for more than three hours, was held to take public comment on the issue. Colburn said that, because of the public outcry about the proposed rule, DCH staffers are recommending that the board table the proposal and consider other options.

"We won't be presenting this proposal to the [DCH] board at the next meeting, but we will work to revise the [proposed] rule so it won't be construed as so restrictive," he said. "That wasn't ever our intent. We were trying to update the rules, with safety in mind."

"If our wording is imperfect, then this is just part of the process to look at what is feasible or not feasible," Colburn said.

At its Jan. 13 meeting, the board will receive a transcript of Wednesday's hearing, along with copies of the hundreds of letters and e-mails from the public about the proposed rule.

Colburn said that it will be up to the board to decide what it will do. But the staff is recommending that the proposed rule be tabled indefinitely.

Many people who spoke Wednesday asked that the board create a task force, and include on it operators of assisted living facilities, to look at any updates in the safety rules.

Lisa Marie Shekell, a DCH spokeswoman, said that there is no timeline set yet for when the board might make any decision or create a task force.

But Dennis Wester, the owner of the small assisted living facility Abundant Living in Comer, Ga., said that he can't take any chances that the board will or won't adopt the rule as it is currently proposed.

He said he intends to be at upcoming DCH meetings to make sure that the new rule isn't adopted despite the outcry.

"There's been a major lack of communication between the board and those of us in the industry," said Wester. "I don't know if the board is trying to phase out the little guys, but if they go forward [with the change], they're going to put us under."

Wester, who for the past 14 years has run a facility at his home for six elderly people, said that he and his wife work around the clock to give his clients the best care.

Capital Senior Living Corporation Announces a Four Community Lease Transaction

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Capital Senior Living Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE:CSU), one of the country’s largest operators of senior living communities, announced today that joint ventures in which it holds a five percent partnership interest, have entered into an agreement to sell four senior living communities (the "Spring Meadows Communities") to Health Care REIT, Inc. (NYSE:HCN). Upon closing the transaction, anticipated in the first quarter of 2011, the Company will lease the communities from HCN. The Company currently manages the Spring Meadows Communities under long-term management agreements.

Highlights of this transaction include:

• Sales proceeds, including incentive distributions, total approximately $17.0 million, compared to original investment of $1.3 million.
• Increases annual revenue by $26.0 million.
• Adds $12.2 million of EBITDAR.
• Additional CFFO of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per share.
• Incremental earnings of $1.9 million, or $0.07 per share.

"We are extremely pleased with the returns the Company and its joint venture partner will receive in this transaction," commented Lawrence A.Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The addition of the Spring Meadows communities to our consolidated operations will provide immediate benefits to our shareholders. Along with a significant increase in our revenues, the lease will be accretive to cash flow and earnings. While we have been earning management fees on these communities, we will now be able to consolidate the results of operations and benefit fully from further improvement in occupancies,margins and cash flow. We plan to use the proceeds from this transaction for acquisitions of senior living communities to strategically enhance the geographic concentration of our existing operating platform. We are pleased to add the Spring Meadows communities to our strong and growing relationship with HCN."

The Spring Meadows properties have approximately 625 units with a combined resident capacity of 758 and include two independent and assisted living communities in Illinois, one independent and assisted living community in Connecticut and one assisted living community in New Jersey. Current occupancy of the combined portfolio is 79%, as two of the communities are in the process of converting a total of 28 vacant units to memory care units. These conversions are expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2011. The Company is also working toward the possible conversion of 14 vacant units to memory care at an additional community.

The Company anticipates receiving proceeds, including incentive distributions, from the sale by the joint ventures of approximately $17.0 million, compared to its original investment of approximately $1.3 million. After expected closing costs and taxes, the Company anticipates receiving net proceeds of approximately $11.4 million on the transaction. The gain realized from the sale of its joint venture interests will be amortized over the life of the initial lease term. The Company may receive additional proceeds after the joint venture settles its customary post-closing costs.
