Currituck Health & Rehab Center in Barco, NC provides licensed nursing-home care with round-the-clock clinical oversight. Registered and licensed practical nurses manage medications, monitor vital signs, and coordinate physician-directed treatment plans for residents who require post-acute recovery or long-term skilled nursing. Physical, occupational, and speech therapists work on-site to help residents regain or maintain mobility, strength, and communication abilities, while restorative aides continue prescribed exercises between therapy sessions.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the center delivers a range of supportive health services. Wound care, IV therapy, and pain management are available as ordered by attending physicians. Social workers develop discharge and transition plans, arrange durable medical equipment, and help residents and families navigate insurance requirements. Respite stays accommodate short-term caregiver relief, and hospice coordination is offered for residents who need end-of-life support. A licensed dietitian collaborates with nursing staff to adjust therapeutic diets for cardiac, diabetic, or other clinical needs.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, and residents may find conveniences such as cable TV connections, in-unit washer and dryer access, and regular housekeeping; however, these features vary by room type and availability. Landscaped grounds, outdoor seating areas, and on-site parking give residents and visitors accessible spaces to enjoy fresh air without leaving the property.
Three daily meals are prepared in the community’s kitchen, with therapeutic menus that can accommodate low-sodium, kosher, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other allergen-sensitive plans. Healthy snacks are stocked between meals, and portion sizes or textures are modified as needed to support each resident’s medical and dietary requirements. A registered dietitian reviews each meal plan to help residents maintain proper nutrition while aligning with physician orders.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center, borrow books or use computers in the library and computer lounge, and take part in planned social outings to local shops and events. These amenities give residents structured options for engagement and help maintain social connections outside of the clinical setting.
