Margate Health And Rehab Center sits at 540 Waugh St in Jefferson, NC, and has been around since 2005, offering inpatient nursing and rehabilitation with a strong focus on both long-term care and short-term recovery after surgery or illness, so people who need help for a little while or those who need a safe and steady place to stay can find what they need in the same building. Residents can stay in either private or semi-private rooms, use a clean and well-maintained gym for their physical therapy, enjoy the shared courtyard and a quiet serenity garden, and find common areas that are nicely kept, all kept cool with air conditioning throughout the building. The management and staff have a simple mission: to provide care with trust, teamwork, excellence, and foresight, and they work on being attentive, compassionate, and respectful, making an effort to listen and respond quickly when concerns come up, which gives the place a family-like atmosphere where people feel seen.
People living here, whether for a short recovery period or needing longer care, get 24/7 skilled nursing, with a high staff-to-patient ratio so care is prompt and steady, and the center offers a suite of therapy services like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, wound care, and skin care. There's a rehab unit with experienced CNAs, nurses, and therapy staff who help residents heal and regain strength, while the team also pays attention to nutrition, providing planned meals at set times-breakfast at 7:30 am, lunch at noon, dinner at 5:00 pm-plus individualized menu options if needed. Facilities have parking, restrooms, air conditioning, designated smoking areas, and a state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym with exercise therapy programs for people working on their strength.
The management team, including roles like Administrator, Director of Nursing, Admissions & Marketing, and an Activities Director, keeps the place running smoothly, while the therapy team encourages mobility and healing for each patient. Margate Health And Rehab Center has a holistic approach that values communication, patient well-being, and a sense of community, so residents find social opportunities, nutritional support, and interdisciplinary healthcare right in the same place. The center has 210 skilled nursing beds and allows 24-hour visitation, so loved ones can visit at any time, creating comfort for families and residents alike.
