Piney Forest Health and Rehabilitation Center, found at 450 Piney Forest Road in Danville, Virginia, is a skilled nursing facility with 120 licensed beds, and you'll see that most days about 111 residents stay there, so it stays busy with different needs and routines. They offer recovery services for people who've had planned surgeries, accidents, illnesses, or need help with things like pneumonia, COPD, joint injuries, or stroke, and they have cardiac recovery programs, post-surgery rehab, and long-term care as well. The center's team includes Certified Nursing Assistants, Licensed Practical Nurses, Registered Nurses, Infection Preventionists, and even some staff dedicated to customer service, with full-time employees totaling about 93 folks. The facility provides both private and semi-private rooms, with daily rates at $288 and $264, and you'll find all the regular healthcare staff are not just contractors but part of the dedicated team on the floor each day.
Staff use clinical roles to provide care, supervise nurses, prevent infections, and keep things running smoothly when top supervisors aren't there, and they do look for Registered Nurses to keep an eye on infection controls, especially since infection reports and compliance have been sticking points, with 34 deficiencies and a few tied to infection prevention, so not everything is perfect and there's room for improvement. House supervisors step in when the Director of Nursing is away and there are Charge Nurse roles that supervise Certified Nursing Assistants and give hands-on care. The center's staffing is a bit lower than the state's average at just over 3 nurse hours per resident daily, and the nurse turnover rate is higher than average too, so sometimes staff change often. Piney Forest focuses on personalized care, wanting to build good relationships with the residents and their families, and they say compassion is important, and you see efforts to keep strong infection control programs going, especially in times with COVID-19 and more, and they encourage visitors to use hand sanitizer, wear masks, and get vaccinated, with rules that follow ongoing safety advice.
The facility tries to make life easier for patients and staff, offering all the usual amenities along with some technology like Recovery Map™ and Personal Report Card™ to help track daily progress and keep everyone motivated. Therapy runs up to seven days a week, usually two to three hours a day if needed, with a gym that uses modern equipment so patients can work on their recovery as comfortably as possible. Piney Forest is tied to Medical Facilities of America, and Ms. Amber Tejeda acts as the main administrator, so everything goes through her and the team. There've been delays in inspections, with the last official check occurring over two years ago, so some records and practices have been flagged for improvement, especially around patient data, care planning, and infection spread. Everything they do centers on keeping people recovering or settled for the long term, and they try to balance medical care, personal rehab, visits, and day-to-day comfort for those who call this place home. More about their services and current news is posted on their website, and all their care options come intent on getting people safely through recovery or settled for longer stays.
