Wilmington Rehab Center

Wilmington Rehab Center, also known as Willow Brook Rehabilitation And Healthcare Center, is a skilled nursing facility that takes care of people needing long-term nursing or short-term rehab, so folks who need extra help between hospital and home can get the care they need, and those who are frail and need daily nursing can live safely with round-the-clock supervision, and you know they even offer end-of-life hospice care, Alzheimer's care, and special programs for folks with memory problems. This place has 142 certified beds, and usually, about 118 residents stay there each day, with rooms that include private suites and shared spaces with air conditioning and private bathrooms, plus amenities like internet, cable, telephone, and Wi-Fi, and there's an exercise center, a beauty salon, a big dining room with restaurant-style meals and even things like a pub, a lobby, gardens, wooded paths, and activity or cinema rooms so residents can enjoy themselves or relax in cozy spots, and for those who like variety, meals often include seasonal and ethnic dishes. Folks get help with daily needs, from bathing to cleaning and taking medicine, and there's medication management, activity help, linen service, housekeeping, three meals a day, and arrangements to travel to doctor's appointments, so you don't have to worry too much about missing a check-up. The staff includes licensed nurses, doctors, trained nursing assistants, and physical therapists, so there are people around all day and night to help with moving, medication, wound care, and more complex needs, and the facility has programs for stroke, amputation, heart and lung rehab, and skin or wound care, and therapies include physical, occupational, and speech sessions in a dedicated gym or rehab center area. The place is operated for profit, managed by John Benedetti since June 2019, and has ties to Adviniacare, which means they're part of a bigger network, but they do have a higher nurse turnover rate than the state average, and inspection reports have shown 59 deficiencies, including three about infection control and others about care plans and catheter care, urinary tract infection prevention, and meeting all resident needs, so while there's a focus on clinical services and advocacy, some challenges still exist in maintaining the highest federal standards. Programs run at Wilmington Rehab Center include urgent SNF™, subacute rehab, care navigation for care transitions, respite stays, and community and wellness initiatives like the Fight the Flu Campaign or Sepsis Smart, plus special training programs for caregivers and efforts to improve care and reduce unnecessary use of certain medications. For people with disabilities who need constant monitoring in a safe place, or those ready to recover in a homey environment with gardens and walks but still want skilled support close by, the center tries to blend comfort with comprehensive medical care, though future building updates and steps to address past deficiencies are needed, and residents and families should consider all options with these facts in mind when choosing care.
