King Health & Rehabilitation Center

King Health & Rehabilitation Center sits in the heart of King, North Carolina, near Highway 52, and has been serving the community for over 50 years, run under the guidance of Jerry Horne. The facility has 96 beds, with the choice between private or shared rooms, and each room has an ensuite bathroom with an accessible shower or tub, which is handy for those who need a little more help getting around. The center cares for people who need skilled nursing, assists those living on their own, supports people with memory loss from Alzheimer's or dementia, and offers both short-term rehab-like after surgery or an illness-and long-term care for those who need to stay longer. There's a state-of-the-art gym filled with modern therapy equipment, available for rehab sessions up to seven days a week, where therapists help folks regain mobility and strength, usually working two to three hours per day, always with therapy schedules shaped to each person's needs. What stands out is their LifeWorks Rehab® Recovery Program, which has custom therapy plans and uses tools like the Recovery Map™ and the Personal Report Card™ so residents and families can track progress and stay motivated. Residents get care from a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and aides who all work right there, rather than being contractors. It's a place known for Alzheimer's and dementia care, palliative and hospice care, along with orthopedic rehab and therapy for physical, speech, and occupational needs. Pharmacy services and access to medical supplies are available on site, while an Activities Director keeps folks engaged with recreational and social options. Residents eat in a restaurant-style dining room where chefs prepare a variety of meals and a dietitian watches over the menus to help with special dietary needs. The staff are known for their friendly and helpful approach, and there's a clear focus on making sure no one is left alone during care, whether it's for a short recovery or a longer stay, and the environment is described as both nurturing and supportive. King Health & Rehabilitation Center has earned numerous accolades and accreditations over the years, and it maintains a reputation for providing quality skilled nursing and rehabilitation services in a caring atmosphere.
