Kerr Lake Nursing and Rehabilitation Center sits at 1245 Park Ave in Henderson, North Carolina, and has 92 skilled nursing beds with a friendly, homelike setting that many folks find comfortable. The facility serves adults and seniors, offering both short-term rehab and long-term care, and there's always a licensed nurse on duty, every hour of every day, which brings peace of mind. Residents get help with the daily things like walking, eating, bathing, grooming, and dressing, and the care team includes social workers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and physical therapists, who all work together to help folks get stronger and stay safe, whether they're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or needing help after a stroke or wound.
The community has lounges where people can relax, as well as a courtyard that folks use to spend quiet time outdoors, and there's a friendly schedule of daily activities, from bingo to arts and crafts and music. Everyone eats together in a communal dining hall, and friends or relatives are welcome to join meals in a welcoming dining area, which makes for good social time and helps residents feel more at home. Nutrition matters here, so dietitians plan meals that match special health needs, including therapeutic and altered-consistency diets for safe swallowing or other conditions, and there's always an eye on safety with monitoring systems that help keep residents from wandering by accident.
Staff includes registered pharmacists, physicians, and other professionals who check in regularly, and family support groups meet for comfort and learning, while visitor engagement is encouraged if folks want to join in. Salon services, religious worship, and afternoon tea bring a gentle routine, and there are special care programs for people with cardiac, respiratory, wound, stroke, diabetic, or hospice care needs-including palliative care, IV therapy, ambulation training, amputation and prosthesis help, and pain management. The focus is always on personalizing care, keeping residents healthy, and making them feel cared for.
There's an emphasis on keeping life as comfortable as possible, with Principle Therapy Services delivering on-site therapy to work on walking, speech, memory, and swallowing, and the interdisciplinary team works hard to prevent rehospitalization. The property itself is going through a big modernization set for completion in Fall and Winter of 2024. Kerr Lake Nursing and Rehabilitation Center remains open to adults and elderly folk who need a skilled, safe, and welcoming place with a caring staff and a focus on recovery and dignity.
