Wellington Rehabilitation And Healthcare

Wellington Rehabilitation And Healthcare sits over at 1000 Tandal Place in Knightdale, North Carolina, and offers a wide set of care options, so it covers active adult living, independent and assisted living, memory care, long-term skilled nursing, Medicare-certified home health, non-medical home care, adult day services, rehabilitation, and even hospice and palliative care, which means they take in people needing all sorts of help from short-term rehab after the hospital to the most frail folks who need round-the-clock nursing supervision by a physician. The facility can serve up to 80 residents but usually keeps about 73 people, with nurse staffing levels coming in below the state average at 3.22 hours per resident per day and a nurse turnover rate of 47%, and while they're part of Consulate Health Care and managed by Consulate Management Company III, LLC since late 2021, their overall CMS federal rating sits much below average, with low marks on inspections and staffing, though they do better in the quality measures category. The state has cited them for a variety of deficiencies, including big problems with resident assessment during major changes in condition, pharmacy errors, and issues with infection control, one of which led to a $15,642 fine, but they do run infection control protocols and do basic patient assessment and care planning as required by federal law. The building's accessible for wheelchairs and has amenities like spacious living areas and outdoor spaces, plus they provide specialized therapies for stroke recovery, orthopedics, and memory issues, and people can get physical, occupational, or speech therapy. Wellington accepts Medicaid and Medicare, along with Long-Term Care Insurance and Veterans Aid & Attendance, which can make it an option for seniors of different incomes, and as a member of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, they do focus on keeping resident well-being in mind with holistic and individualized care plans, but inspection reports show that the facility has room to improve in both assessment and infection safety. They're licensed to store and dispense drugs, provide help with daily needs like bathing, eating, and dressing, and their administrator is Lionel McCullough. The center's for-profit, affiliated with groups like Independence Living Centers, Nspire Healthcare, and Raydiant Health Care, and fully meets the federal criteria for Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement, which means they'll take both private pay and public insurance, and while the care programs are broad, inspection ratings and citation history mean families seeking care will want to pay extra attention to how ongoing issues get handled over time.
