The Laurels of Pender is licensed as a nursing-home provider and is equipped to deliver around-the-clock skilled nursing care. In addition to long-term stays, the facility accepts respite or short-term admissions, giving family caregivers a break while ensuring their loved one receives professional oversight. Residents who have diabetes can expect glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and meal planning that aligns with physician orders. A licensed speech therapist is available for residents who need help with swallowing disorders, communication challenges, or post-stroke rehabilitation.
Beyond these core services, the clinical team collaborates with physicians, pharmacists, and rehabilitation specialists to develop individualized care plans. The staff manages medications, monitors vital signs, and coordinates any needed laboratory work or off-site appointments. Care conferences are scheduled to keep families informed, and the facility maintains protocols for rapid response if a resident’s condition changes unexpectedly.
Accommodations include a selection of private and semi-private rooms, with accessibility features that support mobility and daily living tasks. Outdoor areas provide residents with a secure setting to get fresh air or participate in supervised activities, although these spaces are not attached to every room. Because layouts and amenities vary, not all accommodations include every feature, and availability depends on current occupancy.
Meals are prepared on-site and served three times daily, with snacks offered as appropriate. The dietary department works with nursing and therapy staff to modify textures, control carbohydrates, or adjust sodium levels based on each resident’s medical orders. Residents who follow specialized diets—such as those for diabetes or dysphagia—receive menu options that align with their care plans.
An activity center offers opportunities for social engagement, group exercises, and therapeutic recreation. Scheduled programming is designed to maintain cognitive function and encourage social interaction while respecting each resident’s physical and medical limitations.
