Lexington Health Care Center

Lexington Health Care Center sits at 17 Cornelia Drive in Lexington, North Carolina, offering 100 skilled nursing beds for folks who need care after a hospital stay, illness, surgery, or for those needing long-term help, and you'll find the building comfortable and modern, with both private and shared rooms-even the bathrooms are easy to access, with showers or tubs you don't have to struggle to get in, and every room includes air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and a small kitchenette, which is practical for daily living. They handle a wide variety of health needs, from skilled nursing and medication management to help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and all those daily things that can be tough when health is limited, and the staff offers either 12-16 hour nursing care and 24-hour supervision, so help's never far away, plus they use a 24-hour call system for emergencies or even just simple requests. The center has a big focus on helping people get back on their feet, with a dedicated LifeWorks Rehab® program that operates seven days a week, offering therapy two to three hours a day in a very well-equipped rehab gym with tools like strength machines, a dynamic stair trainer, cyber cycles, an HUR iBalance machine, and the alter-G treadmill, which some folks swear by for easier walking practice. A team of regular staff-meaning nurses, therapists, certified nursing assistants, and even a dietitian who work at the center, not outside contractors-use tools like the Recovery Map™ and the Personal Report Card™ so you'll know exactly how recovery's going and what's next, and they handle all sorts of needs, whether it's breathing problems, accident or stroke recovery, post-surgery healing, or a long-term illness. On top of skilled nursing, the center has different care options for short-term recovery or longer stays, with personalized plans tailored by the in-house care staff, plus recovery support for people using walkers or wheelchairs. Amenities are meant to make day-to-day life better, so besides the clinical care, folks get access to a fitness room, arts room, library, gardens and walking paths, movie theater, activity and games rooms, spa, and a community dining room where you choose from restaurant-style, freshly made meals with accommodations for allergies or diabetes if needed, and for those days when it's hard to get out, there's room service, daily housekeeping, and laundry. The place keeps busy with resident-run activities, community events, music and art programs, health presentations-like regular blood pressure checks-and there's a dedicated activities coordinator to make sure no one's left out. The community accepts Medicaid and Medicare, provides transportation for outings and appointments, brings in families for special programs, and supports easy move-ins with help for new residents, all under the watch of administrator Alexandra Garrett. The setting works for ambulatory and non-ambulatory folks, with staff used to transfers, walkers, and wheelchairs, and they keep a steady eye on quality and comfort in a facility run as a for-profit, limited liability company, putting a simple focus on safe, reliable, and respectful care designed to help each resident find a bit more independence and well-being during their stay.
