My mother was a resident of TRC for about 6 years before she passed. She was always treated with love and compassion and as though she was a family member. As I sat with her while she was dying, many of the caregivers stayed well past their shift so they could tell funny and touching stories about her. It meant the world to me to know she was so loved. And even nearly 2 years after her passing , I am still treated as a member of the family.

In the short time I have worked at TRHC, I have seen how well each of us works well as a team in order to maintain a healthy and caring environment for all of our residents. We are consistently attempting to make sure our residents and their families feel heard and cared for. Any time someone may have questions or concerns, I feel our office staff listens and quickly addresses that question or concern so we can maintain the best care and environment for our residents. Above all, I can say I am very happy that I took a position at this facility because I feel respected and heard.

My dad entered TR&H Center mid December of 2022. Placing a loved one into a nursing home is probably one of the hardest things a child ever has to do and I was skeptical. But as soon as I walked in the door I was met with smiles of many people from our community that I knew. My guard instantly relaxed. I had a list of questions - some pretty blunt but they were answered honestly and openly. We could not have been more pleased with the time he spent there. We thought it was going to be a permanent thing, but they pushed and worked with him towards his goals and early January he was release! That’s a story you don’t hear often. My dad “graduated from the nursing home”. Very lucky to have them and a staff that is dedicated to their job!

Working at TRHC of course I would think it's great. However, I didn't realize how great untill I visited a friend's Dad at another facility and saw how bad conditions were there. We had him transferred within a week to Tarkio. It was the best thing that could have happened to him!

What They’re Saying

Petersen Health Care was an absolute answer to prayers for our family as we sought the proper facility for our Aunt. The facilities are very home-like, and the care and love given to the residents by the staff is exceptional. I would recommend Petersen Health Care to anyone looking for a home for their loved one with dementia.

I recently was a short-term resident at Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care following surgery. The staff was incredible and deserve special mention. I appreciated the service and, most of all, the friendship extended to me when I was a resident there. All the CNAs tended to my needs. Their gentle and kind attention was exceptional; I am sure it sped my recovery. Those who prepared and served my meals also played a big role. The food was excellent and the cheery smiles of the servers brightened the sometimes stressful days. The Pathways therapists pushed me to stretch those stiff muscles.

I am sure that I would not be doing as well as I am – and be back in my own apartment — without them. Those who made it possible for me to get to my doctor appointments aided tremendously. It was definitely easier for me in the Polo Rehab van than in a car. You gentlemen are true gentle-men. I truly feel that the Polo Rehabilitation and Health Care facility is one of the best available in this area. I cannot thank all the staff enough. It is top notch nursing care.

Successful Therapy Patient

Everyone from housekeeping to the nursing staff is wonderful. I know that my mom is in the hands of wonderful, caring people. When she came there 2 years ago, I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing, but you have proven over and over again that it was the best thing for her that I could have ever done when I could no longer meet her needs myself. Thank you for taking such good care of my mom

Family Member of a Resident

The time has come to leave the beautiful people in this place. Having been here before, I was impressed with the new therapy department. Occupational Therapy has helped me learn new ways to put on my shoes and socks and I can do it by myself. Physical Therapy has helped to strengthen my legs and get me back to walking again. If I need therapy again, I will definately come here!

Successful Therapy Patient

Well, this was the best decision I could have made for Mom. Every staff person listened to me as though my concerns were their only concerns. They took into consideration all of Mom’s individual needs, even her personal preferences that were not within the normal protocols of the nursing home. They really listened when I talked. They kept me informed. They respected her wishes, through me, since she could no longer express herself.
