The Foley Center at Chestnut Ridge sits high up on 68 acres in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, with mountain views and lots of fresh air, where you'll find a mix of care to fit different health needs, so folks can come here for short-term rehab, skilled nursing, long-term living, assisted living, outpatient therapy, hospice or palliative care, and even respite care if their regular caregiver needs a break, and there's always a clinical team paying close attention, working together to make person-centered care plans that aim to help people get better, keep up their daily skills, and lower their chances of ending up back in the hospital, and you'll notice these plans often involve a range of on-site medical services for things like wound care, IV therapy, fall prevention, cardiopulmonary help, podiatry, geriatric psychiatry, and other secondary conditions, so folks aren't having to leave just to get something basic taken care of, plus they've got labs right there and therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech, all run by their own teams, with added support from therapies like diathermy, electrical stimulation, and ultrasound for those who need them, and they do their rehab down in a fully equipped gym and Activities-of-Daily-Living suite because getting back to everyday actions like dressing or eating is important as people work to recover.
People live here in private or semi-private suites, each with flat-screen TVs with cable, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms, and if you like sunshine or a nice view, you'll find that the common areas, lounges, patios, and dining rooms try to give that sense of space and mountain scenery, since the place is set up to let you relax or have a chat wherever you like, and meals happen in a big community dining room that focuses on both taste and nutrition, with special care for folks who need help eating or remembering their medicines, and if someone's looking for more, there's salon and spa bathing rooms, social salons for conversation and crafts, a deli, life enrichment programs, and outdoor spaces to stretch your legs or visit in with neighbors.
The nursing team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who work day and night, and their physicians are on-site, so medical care stays close at hand, while support like housekeeping, laundry, and even transportation happens in the background, letting the focus stay on healing, independence, and belonging; the place keeps up with emergency call systems in the rooms for safety and received a deficiency-free rating at its last state inspection, which suggests they're serious about clinical quality and resident wellbeing, and staff work to give compassionate, professional care, from wound and ostomy help to long-term medication management, and if families can't be there, respite care backs up primary caregivers so residents don't miss out on social activities, good meals, rehabilitation, or the little touches that make life feel more comfortable.
