About Sheridan County Hospital Ltcu

+
Nestled in the heart of northwestern Kansas, Sheridan County Hospital Long Term Care Unit (LTCU) provides skilled nursing care in Hoxie, the proud county seat of Sheridan County. As an integral part of Sheridan County Hospital at 826 18th Street, the LTCU offers residents the rare advantage of hospital-level resources directly on site—meaning skilled medical staff, diagnostic services, and emergency support are never more than steps away. Hoxie is a close-knit agricultural community situated along US Highway 24, where neighbors look out for one another and local institutions carry deep roots. The LTCU reflects that same spirit: as a nonprofit organization, its mission centers on community wellbeing rather than profit, ensuring that decisions about resident care are driven by compassion and clinical need. Families can take confidence knowing that the facility is accountable to the community it has served for generations. For families visiting from the surrounding region, Hoxie is a manageable drive from Colby—roughly 45 miles east along I-70—where additional amenities including Colby Community College, the Prairie Museum of Art and History, and a broader range of restaurants and retail shopping are available. Back in Hoxie itself, the Sheridan County Courthouse anchors a quiet downtown, and the wide-open Kansas prairie surrounding the town offers a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere that many seniors find restorative after years of busier city living. Skilled nursing at Sheridan County Hospital LTCU encompasses post-acute rehabilitation, wound care, medication management, and long-term residential care for those who require ongoing support with daily activities. Interdisciplinary care teams coordinate closely with the hospital's physicians and specialists, providing a seamless continuum from acute hospitalization to long-term recovery or residence. For families across Sheridan, Thomas, Decatur, and Graham counties, this facility represents trusted, local care without the need to relocate a loved one far from home.
