Norfolk Health & Rehabilitation Center

Norfolk Health & Rehabilitation Center sits at 901 East Princess Anne Road in Norfolk, Virginia, and offers 180 beds for people who need skilled nursing care or rehabilitation after a stroke, surgery, accident, or long illness, and they can handle tracheostomy care too, so if someone needs help for just a short time or for longer stays, the staff knows how to handle both, and you'll find a lot of experienced nurses, doctors, therapists, and certified nursing assistants working together along with dietary and culinary staff who help keep meals both tasty and suited for everyone's needs, since they serve food right in a restaurant-style dining room with different meal choices by chefs who pay attention to what people want to eat. The place has private and semi-private rooms, all with ensuite bathrooms and showers or tubs that are easy to use for those with limited movement, and rates are $318 a day for private rooms and $307 a day for semi-private, with staff available at all times. There's a strong focus on rehabilitation with a big gym packed with up-to-date equipment like the Dynamic Stair Trainer and HUR iBalance Machine, and therapy can go up to seven days a week for several hours a day if needed, plus they use programs like LifeWorks Rehab® Recovery Program, Recovery Map™, and Personal Report Card™ to keep track of progress and help people see how far they've come, and an Activities Coordinator helps folks keep active and connected. The facility has been around for over 50 years and runs as part of Medical Services of America, and is led by Administrator Christina Wiley. The staff includes over a hundred full-time equivalents, and they work with both short-term and long-term residents, altogether logging tens of thousands of patient days a year. Membership with the Virginia Health Care Association and Virginia Center for Assisted Living means the center keeps up with state standards, and their website holds more details about services and what to expect.
