Bladen East Health and Rehab sits at 804 S Poplar St in Elizabethtown, NC, and has been open since 2017, so folks who come here will find a newer facility, and the place handles 90 certified beds. Zachary Miller, who manages the facility and owns half the business with Hugh Campbell, has been in charge since June 2017. The place runs as a for-profit limited liability company. Bladen East Health and Rehab offers skilled nursing care around the clock, so staff are on site day and night, and nurse staffing averages 3.22 hours per resident per day, though nurse turnover's high at 62.5%. The facility admits Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurances and provides both long-term and short-term skilled nursing care, plus assisted living and personalized rehabilitation. Residents can get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and eating. There's physician supervision, drug storage and dispensing, and many allied health services offered right there in the building.
Rooms include full tubs and wheelchair-accessible showers, and folks can use a computer room, outdoor and indoor shared areas, and enjoy amenities like the beauty salon, barber shop, and meals. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry-cleaning services are available, so residents don't have to worry about chores if they don't want to. They can join structured activities-things like Coffee Hour, Worship Services, Exercise, Bingo, Arts and Crafts, movie times with snacks, and scheduled outings into town, since the location's close to local shopping, restaurants, doctors, and hospitals. Devotional services are available too. The staff handles hospice and respite care, provides transportation at cost (sometimes for free), and runs a flat-fee pricing model.
The team of nurses and therapists aims to create a caring and nurturing environment, working on resident-centered care and making sure support fits each person's needs, which they say improves quality of life and independence. There are over ten on-site rehab services, so people can work on their recovery without having to travel. There are some documented issues though, including violations related to abuse prevention, nutrition, dietary standards, and care planning. Still, Bladen East Health and Rehab is fully licensed, meets federal criteria for Medicare and Medicaid, and keeps a dedicated staff on site full-time to give residents as much continuity and help as possible.
