Waynesboro Health And Rehabilitation Center is a medium-sized, nonprofit skilled nursing facility with 109 beds that serves adults who need short-term rehab or long-term care after an illness, injury, or surgery, and some folks come and get help getting back to their homes, though sometimes they stay longer when they need more care. The staff provides nursing care around the clock, including nurses on duty, help with bathing and dressing, and medication management, and there's a 24-hour call system, so help's always close by, and they run twelve to sixteen-hour care shifts with daily nurse staffing that averages about three hours and ten minutes per resident. People get access to health services like dialysis, therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physical therapy, dental care, vision care, podiatry, stroke care, physicians, and pharmacy, and there's support for mental health needs and help with serious medical needs. The facility is Medicare and Medicaid certified and can help families find out about eligibility, income limits, and different ways to compare and pay for care. There's also training for caregivers, resources on choosing assisted living, and tools for learning about senior care.
Some rooms are private and all are furnished with air conditioning, cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, Wi-Fi or high-speed internet, and accessible bathrooms with safety features, and regular maid service, on-call maintenance, and housekeeping and linen services are available too. Folks eat in a restaurant-style dining room where they can get meals made by chefs, including diabetic and allergy-friendly options or meals for other dietary needs. The facility offers many activities, like wellness and education programs, social gatherings, arts and crafts, and there are daily scheduled activities and places for resident-run groups. There are rooms for movies, games, art, and music, along with a fitness room, a beauty salon, library, computer room, garden space, walking pathways, and outdoor spaces for relaxing, and transportation is provided for medical visits and other needs, plus there's parking.
For people who need it, Waynesboro Health And Rehabilitation Center provides skilled nursing and post-acute care, including medication support, help with dressing and transfers, non-ambulatory care, and rehabilitation therapy, and staff emphasize helping residents keep as much independence and quality of life as possible. The center's data shows a 38.3% discharge rate back to former living settings after rehab, and for short-term stays, there's a zero percent major injury rate for falls and a 6.0% rate of serious infections needing a hospital stay, with an 11.9% hospital visit rate among residents during their stays. There are also programs for dietary support, laundry, concierge, move-in help, and extra social work services, and staff encourage everyone to join in community activities and fitness programs. The facility runs as a nonprofit, corporate-owned center and regularly offers information, support, and employment resources for those interested in senior care careers, including caregiver, CNA, and dementia care training, and community outreach for education and coordination.
