History
Mission Nursing Home opened in 1964 as the men of Mission Farms, part of Union City Mission (now Missions Inc. Programs) started to age and required long-term skilled nursing care.
The facility was at one point housed in the Union City Mission Chapel before it was torn down in 1995 and patients were moved to new facility.
Today, the facility provides services for up to 65 men who require long-term and short-term skilled nursing care. As the only all-male facilities in the state, our unique nursing facility can provide specialized care for men who also experience behavioral issues.
Paul's Story: A journey to independence
When Paul arrived at Mission Nursing Home he was flat on his back, he couldn’t move. He had a feeding tube, a tracheotomy tube and several very serious bedsores. He was in a lot of pain and very anxious.
In spring 2020, Paul was in a car accident. He found himself being moved from nursing facility to nursing facility and caught COVID-19 twice. In July 2020, he was moved to Mission Nursing Home.
At Mission Nursing Home, Paul's bedsores began to heal and our nursing and physical therapy staff worked with him to gain his independence back. They got him the proper wheelchair and accessories and taught him how to use them. They pushed him on days he felt unmotivated so he wouldn't lose progress.
After more than a year at Mission Nursing Home, Paul has gained much of his independence back. He sits upright in his wheelchair. He can leave the nursing home to go to appointments by himself. Paul says he's in less pain and he is less anxious.
He is now working with staff to transition into a group home for more permanent housing. Staff say he is a far cry from the man they met in July 2020 and his story inspires them.
