Crystal Bluffs Rehabilitation And Health Care Cent sits at 4010 Bridges Street Extension in Morehead City, North Carolina, and has served the area since September 1999 under the management of Century Care Management, Inc. The facility operates as a for-profit limited liability company and is a member of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association. There are 92 certified skilled nursing beds, with about 83 residents on an average day. Staff provide both long-term residential nursing and short-term rehabilitation care, including their Transitional Rehabilitation™ program, which brings in a team made up of doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists, all working together to help residents recover as fully as they can.
The staff includes licensed nurses and administrators who receive monthly training and renew their certifications every year. Nursing staff give about 3.9 hours of care per resident per day, which is above the state average, and the nurse turnover rate is lower than most facilities in the state. They offer skilled nursing and intermediate care for frail residents who can't manage on their own, and have short-term rehab to help people recover after surgery or illness before returning home. Residents can count on a range of health care and rehabilitation services, and even those needing feeding tubes receive care only when it's truly necessary and with their consent. Respite care is offered, which means people who usually live at home can stay for a short time while their caregivers take a break.
Crystal Bluffs is Medicare and Medicaid certified and takes care of people with complex health issues. Social activities cover physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing, and rehab therapy sessions are available seven days a week for those who need more care to get back on their feet. Private rooms and staff available all day and night provide added comfort and help, especially for those looking to recover quickly. In the last inspection report, the facility had two deficiencies, mainly linked to care planning and making outside service referrals when needed. There haven't been any fines or payment suspensions in the past three years. Crystal Bluffs aims to provide attentive and individualized care to help every resident reach their best possible recovery.
