AMIE HOLT CARE CENTER
Staff appreciation week at Amie Holt Care Center
For staff appreciation week at the Amie Holt Care Center, staff jumped on their horses and had a horse race (see video above) - all for the residents.
This is just one example of how our staff goes above and beyond to make sure residents are happy and healthy.
Thank you for your interest in our long-term care facility
The Amie Holt Care Center provides excellent care and is proudly rated as a 5 star facility in Medicare Nursing Home Comparisons.
Visitation at Amie Holt Care Center
Amie Holt Care Center recognizes that our residents need to spend time with their family and friends. Visitors are allowed at any time following the guidance of the CDC and CMS. While the guidance is subject to change, we currently ask all visitors to:
- Do not visit if you are feeling ill or have had COVID-19 in the last 10 days.
- All visitors are screened at the front entrance for symptoms of respiratory illness.
- Surgical masks must be worn in the hallway at all times.
- Do not visit with staff or other residents in the hallways, please go directly to the resident room or other designated visiting areas. During warm weather, outside visits are recommended.
- We recommend keeping masks on throughout the visit in the resident’s room.
- Family members may bring food to share a meal with residents in their rooms if the resident is not on quarantine; 6-foot social distancing is recommended when masks are removed for meals.
- Residents are required to wear masks in hallways and common areas.
- Residents are allowed to leave the campus. They are required to sign an informed consent before leaving. A questionnaire is completed when they return to determine if they have had potential exposure. AHCC staff will review these forms to determine if quarantine may be needed upon the resident’s return.
- When a staff member or resident tests positive for COVID-19, we will post a sign on the main entry door that we are in “Outbreak Status” to notify visitors of the potential for exposure in our building.
- Visitors are allowed during outbreak status but they should keep their masks on at all times.
- Residents and staff who have had contact with the person who tested positive for COVID-19 will be tested following CDC/CMS guidance. If a visitor believes they may have been exposed by a resident or staff member, they may contact Amie Holt Care Center for follow up.
Admission
Prior to admission, coordination is initiated through the Social Service department and your physician. A preadmission interview is held with the resident and/or responsible party and others involved in the new resident’s care to gather information.
A preadmission review is done to ensure your medical and psychological needs can be met at this facility.
Social Services will work closely with you and your loved ones to help through this process. Every effort will be made to reduce the stress and anxiety caused by the anticipated admission.
On the day of admission, be prepared to allow time to sign paperwork, cover information regarding available services and costs to the resident, and learn more about our facilities philosophy of care.
As long as you live here, the Social Services dept.will continue in assisting you to solve any problems you may encounter and facilitate team involvement to resolve your concerns.
Moving In
We encourage you to bring personal belongings from home to make you feel more comfortable in your new surroundings. However, please keep in mind that there is limited space for personal belongings in your room and a limited amount of storage space in the facility.
When possible, please have eyeglasses, dentures and hearing aids labeled. The place of purchase can usually label them by etching your name on them. It is recommended that you bring six changes of clothing and at least one pair of shoes. All of your clothing will be labeled by our laundry department upon admission or at any time new clothing is purchased.
Please do not bring wool items or items made with sensitive fabrics. Our washing systems do use hot water, and could shrink delicate clothing.
Other items to consider bringing may be: an afghan, personal pictures, and a radio.
Mealtime is a special time and we encourage friends and family to dine with residents. There are several dining areas available within the facility from which to choose. We invite your family to enjoy a complimentary meal with you on the day of admission.
Meals
Normally, meals are $5.00, and are payable at the front desk of the Amie Holt Care Center or at the Dietary Department. Please give us advance notice if you plan to have more than one guest.
Residents are served buffet style meals. There is always a main entrée and a substitute meal is offered. A buffet breakfast is available from 7:00am - 9:00am to allow residents the opportunity to sleep in if they wish. Our Family dinner and Jam get together happens once a month at no charge for guests to dine. Family and friends are urged to attend this event that is typically held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
Expenses
For the current daily rate of a room, please contact the Social Service Department. This cost is all inclusive and covers everything a resident would need on a daily basis including: 24 hour care by trained professionals, room, meals, snacks, incontinence products, general grooming and hygiene supplies, wound care and nursing supplies. If you have the personal resources, you can be admitted to our facility as a private pay resident. Payment for the month is expected at the time of admission. If your financial situation limits your ability to pay for your stay at AHCC, you may be eligible for Medicaid. You can work with the Social Service department to receive an application and guidance on how to apply for Medicaid coverage.
Medicaid applications may take some time to complete; therefore, if you anticipate nursing home placement in the near future, it will be well worth your time to start work immediately on the financial arrangements to assure adequate financial coverage upon admission. This facility is not Medicare certified.

Our Facility
In June of 2016, we moved into our brand new facility. We have 44 private rooms with bathrooms. Private showers are in each room. A large, open dining room on the main floor offers mountain views and overlooks the local golf course.
Medications
Medications are billed separately from room and board charges. Private pay residents have the choice of using the Prescription shop or the Johnson County Healthcare Center Pharmacy (JCHP). The private pay cost of filling medications through JCHP is the average wholesale price plus $5.00 per prescription per month. JCHP will supply all narcotics and injectable medications for all residents. In order for the JCHP to bill insurance for prescription drug coverage, you will need to be enrolled in a Medicare part D plan in our pharmacy’s network. If you are unsure which plan to choose, consult with the AHCC Social Services Department for assistance
Activities
We are proud of the wonderful activities department that keeps our residents active and entertained on a daily basis. Residents are encouraged to take part in both independent and group activities. they are invited to attend outings in our brand new recreational bus equipped with a wheel chair lift. Check out our activities calendar and see what is happening this month at AHCC.
