The Laurels of Forest Glenn in Garner provides licensed nursing-home care designed for residents who need daily clinical oversight. Skilled nursing staff administer individualized care plans and coordinate on-site physical therapy, a structured rehabilitation program, and a pulmonary rehabilitation program aimed at improving respiratory function after illness or surgery. Short-stay respite care is also available, giving caregivers a break while residents continue to receive the same level of skilled medical attention.
Beyond direct therapy services, the facility delivers 24-hour nursing coverage, regular physician visits, and medication management. Staff monitor vital signs, manage chronic conditions, and arrange lab work or imaging as ordered. Discharge planning and family education are built into the care process to help residents transition safely if they return home. For those staying longer, ongoing assessments help adjust services as health needs change.
Resident rooms vary, but most offer basic furnishings with access to cable TV, Wi-Fi, and in-room telephones. Housekeeping keeps living areas clean, and laundry services are available. Outdoor areas—including a garden—offer space for fresh air, while an indoor library and computer lounge provide quiet spots for reading or internet use. Because layouts and upgrades differ, not all accommodations include every listed feature.
Three daily meals are prepared on site, and the kitchen can produce low-sodium, gluten-free, kosher, or vegetarian options when requested. Dietitians review menus to ensure they meet nutritional guidelines and can tailor meal plans for residents with specific medical diets or food allergies. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals.
An activity center hosts scheduled arts and crafts sessions, club meetings, and TV or movie nights. Planned social outings give residents time off campus, and community groups encourage peer interaction and engagement.
