Lynchburg Health & Rehabilitation Center sits on Seminole Avenue near River Ridge Mall, offering long-term care and recovery services for people in Lynchburg, Virginia. The center has 180 licensed beds but can take up to 130 patients at a time, with both private and semi-private rooms, each with their own bathroom and accessible shower or tub. Some residents come to recover from surgeries or illnesses, some stay long-term, and many need skilled nursing care or rehabilitation. The center offers therapy with up-to-date equipment like strength trainers, a dynamic stair trainer, and an Alter-G treadmill, and there's therapy available up to seven days a week for two to three hours a day, with physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists on staff. The center uses programs like LifeWorks Rehab®, Recovery Map™, and Personal Report Card™ to keep patients and families involved in tracking progress during recovery.
You'll find an activities coordinator who keeps things moving and organizes patient activities, while residents can enjoy meals from the culinary staff in a dining room that feels open and welcoming, with menus put together by a dietitian. The staff includes physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, and a dietitian, aiming to deliver person-centered care. For those with diabetes or more complex health needs, there are insulin monitoring systems and respiratory care services, though some reviews and official reports highlight problems-there's been a history of complaints about abuse, neglect, medication mistakes, and issues with how insulin or oxygen equipment has been handled.
The nursing home has federal violations on record, including four fines in three years for different care issues like failing to notify physicians about medication errors, not calibrating insulin monitors properly, and problems with safe oxygen use. Medicare.gov has flagged the center for allegations of neglect and abuse, and Lynchburg Health & Rehabilitation Center holds a 1-Star rating overall and for health, a 2-Star staffing rating, and a 3-Star rating on quality measures, also being a Special Focus Facility candidate due to its citation history. Daily room rates as of last year were $265 for semi-private and $294 for private rooms. Ms. Terressa M. Turner-Hancock and Christina Wiley serve as administrators. Staff at Lynchburg Health & Rehabilitation Center aren't contractors but are part of the regular medical services team, which is part of Medical Services of America. Pre-registration for prospective patients is possible through their website www.lynchburghealthrehab.com. The facility works to blend skilled nursing and rehabilitation care with accessible activities, modern technology, ongoing therapy, and support, but families should be aware of recent history and ratings when considering this facility for their loved one.
