A 20-minute interview on the Senior Moments podcast with Doug Hawkins, administrator of Kit Carson Nursing and Rehab, covering his background, the facility's role as post-acute and long-term care, payment sources (Medicare and Medi-Cal), activities and spiritual services, discharge/rehabilitation practices, capacity, and ownership. Hawkins described growing up around Kit Carson, staff longevity, and efforts to strengthen education, infection-control/cleaning routines and resident engagement. He explained how patients transition from local hospitals for post-acute care, how insurance and Medi-Cal interact with long-term stays, and the facility's follow-up and readmission practices.
