The Beulah Community
Nursing Home (BCNH) was incorporated in 1962 to provide skilled
care to the aged. The original home had 22 beds. In 1964, an
additional 20 beds were added. The demands for additional beds
continued, so a further expansion was considered in the 1970's.
A merger with the Rev. Jochim Memorial Home, a basic care
facility serving the Beulah area since 1948, was completed in
1981. The merger was coupled with an expansion project that
provided the community with a 90-bed facility. For the first
time, Basic Care, Intermediate Care and Skilled Care levels were
provided in one convenient location.
An additional remodeling project was finished
in 1990. Since that time, the facility has provided 85 skilled
nursing care beds.
The name of the Beulah Community Nursing Home
was changed in 1996 to Knife River Care Center. This name better
reflects the service region of the facility.
The Groundbreaking Ceremony for the new
facility was held April 21, 2006. Construction continues on the
new building with an approximate completion date of July 1,
2007. |
