Pettigrew Rehabilitation Center sits in Durham, NC, offering a peaceful courtyard with landscaped grounds and comfortable places for residents to sit outdoors, you'll notice the simple beauty walking through the area, and there's plenty of natural light in their private or unfurnished rooms, with large windows and modest but pleasant decor, so folks who stay here usually have a fair view. The building includes a dining hall where white tablecloths and fresh flowers brighten up mealtimes, and rooms are large enough to feel homelike and not cramped.
Residents use the exercise room with stairs, balance platforms, foam rollers, and exercise balls to help with mobility or strength, and the place has a rehabilitation gym solely focused on therapy and recovery, and people who need intensive treatment have access to physical, occupational, and speech therapy either as an inpatient or an outpatient, and they even provide therapy up to seven days a week for those who need it. Private suites are available for short-term rehab patients, and there's a subacute unit for specialized medical care, including wound care, IV therapy, and respiratory care, because the center has a wound care physician specialist on staff as well as access to an orthopedic doctor, and people can also use the Post COVID-19 Recovery Program after hospital stays for COVID-19, which helps people regain their former abilities.
Pettigrew Rehabilitation Center maintains 96 skilled nursing facility beds and has 24-hour nurse coverage with an emergency call system for safety, and the care services include personal care, meal service, and medication management, with special programs for respite stays that last anywhere from a few days to several months. Social activities, meditation, worship, and fellowship are on offer along with private spaces for family visits, so residents can keep a routine or enjoy quiet time as they like. You'll find a beauty and barber salon, fitness center, and inviting residents' lounge in addition to indoor and outdoor common areas, all built for both comfort and socializing.
Maya Campbell serves as the administrator, and short- and long-term stays both need a doctor's admission order; people find care here for both rehabilitation and longer healing periods. The facility uses telemedicine with portable equipment, available for consultations during the day, after hours, or on weekends, which is helpful when traveling isn't possible or waiting for an outside appointment would take too long. Accessibility and security are top of mind, with a dedicated entrance built to make entry straightforward for everyone. You'll find privacy policies and settings available, plus a management platform for adjusting those as needed. Pettigrew focuses on clear routines, quality health support, and honest surroundings, keeping things simple for those who reside or recover there, and while it does have a range of amenities, people here value the calm, practical comforts most.
