Belaire Health Care Center in Gastonia, NC operates as a nursing-home provider with licensed staff in the building at all times. The team delivers comprehensive skilled-nursing services that include monitoring of chronic conditions, medication administration, and post-acute recovery assistance. Families who need short-term relief can schedule respite stays, giving caregivers a break while ensuring their loved one continues to receive the same round-the-clock clinical attention given to full-time residents.
In addition to standard skilled-nursing coverage, the center coordinates on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapies ordered by physicians, as well as routine wound care and pain management. Care plans are reviewed regularly with residents, families, and medical professionals to keep treatments aligned with changing health needs. Transportation to off-site medical appointments can be arranged, and the on-call physician network supports urgent issues that arise after hours.
Private and semi-private rooms are available, each equipped with basic furnishings, safety-oriented bathrooms, and cable connections. Some accommodations have direct access to outdoor areas that allow residents to spend time outside without leaving the secured grounds, while others do not; specific features vary by unit, so family members should confirm details when touring.
Meals are served three times a day in a communal dining room designed to support mobility devices and easy staff access. A registered dietitian oversees menu planning to address physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft options. Alternatives are offered at each meal, and snacks are available between dining periods for residents who require additional calories or simply prefer flexible eating times.
Residents have use of an activity center where group programs and therapeutic exercises are scheduled daily. A library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading, internet access, and video calls with family. Those interested in social engagement can join clubs and community groups organized by the life-enrichment team, which range from hobby gatherings to discussion circles.
