Franklin County Transitional Care

Franklin County Transitional Care, located at 44 North 1st East in the heart of Preston, Idaho, is a county-operated skilled nursing facility providing high-quality transitional and long-term care to residents of Franklin County and the greater Cache Valley region. As a government-operated facility under Franklin County, it reflects a deep community commitment to caring for neighbors with professionalism, compassion, and accountability to the public trust. The facility specializes in short-term transitional care — helping patients step down from hospital level care following surgery, fractures, cardiac events, or serious illness — as well as long-term skilled nursing for individuals who require ongoing medical support. Services include 24-hour nursing, physical and occupational therapy, dietary management, and social services to support residents and their families through every stage of recovery. Preston is a small, close-knit agricultural city in the Bear River valley, nestled along the Idaho-Utah border. Franklin County Medical Center, the area's primary hospital, is just a short distance from the facility and works in close coordination with the transitional care team to ensure seamless handoffs and continuity of care. The Bear River winds through the valley, offering scenic landscapes, and the surrounding Cache Valley — shared with Logan, Utah, just 30 miles south — provides families with access to a wider range of services and amenities. Downtown Preston, with its welcoming local businesses and community character, gives the area a hometown warmth that residents and families genuinely appreciate. Franklin County Transitional Care is a trusted pillar of this small Idaho community — a place where staff often know families by name, where the scale of care feels personal rather than institutional, and where the county's investment in its residents' wellbeing is evident in every aspect of daily life.
