Carrington Place of Tappahannock

Carrington Place of Tappahannock sits in Essex County and holds up to 60 licensed residents, with every room being semi-private so everyone shares a space, and you find all kinds of folks here, from people staying short-term for rehab to those who need longer care or hospice support, with nurses and staff on site 24 hours a day. The nursing staff puts in about 3.43 hours per resident each day, and the place tends to get around 19,167 patient days in a year, so it stays pretty steady with its care, and while nurse turnover comes in at about 54%, the full staff counts up to 42.9 full-time folks. Folk can expect to get care plans made just for them, all under physician guidance, and services include sub-acute rehab, orthopedic rehabilitation, wound and pulmonary care, and lots of therapy meant to help people get back as much independence as they're able, or to help them come home when that's possible. People pay a room rate that's semi-private, around $1183 per day, and the facility's under the management of Traditions Senior Management Inc, with West Coast Commonwealth LLC holding the main ownership and Creative Care Resources LLC too, and they've done so since June 2011. Carrington Place has had 59 deficiencies documented and six of those tied to infection control, also being cited for things like not having a qualified activities director or not honoring the right to form resident groups, but these haven't led to actual harm, only showing potential risk. The team says they take a resident-first approach with every plan, focusing on the most comfort and the biggest chance to get better, with programs and social activities for all residents, always aiming for a home-like feeling, and the building makes sure to give free aids like sign language or TTY devices to help anyone who's deaf or hard of hearing. The goal here is to help people reach their best level of independence, and while there are performance and productivity measures in place, you also get the sense that they try to balance staff and resident needs evenly, with a steady routine and a range of options to suit different stages of life. The services are available in English and everything's run through their own website at tappahannock.carringtonplaces.com, with care focused on safety and steady support as folks live out their days or regain needed skills.
