Gastonia Health & Rehab Center in Gastonia, NC operates as a skilled nursing facility, offering 24-hour licensed nursing oversight, post-acute rehabilitation, and long-term custodial care. The community is equipped to support residents who need comprehensive assistance with activities of daily living as well as those who require ongoing clinical monitoring. On-site therapy staff and nursing teams coordinate closely with attending physicians to help residents recover function, manage chronic conditions, and maintain stability.
Beyond foundational nursing services, the center provides targeted medical programs that include structured diabetes management and accommodation for respite or short-term stays. Residents with diabetes receive glucose monitoring, medication administration, and diet adjustments supervised by nursing staff and dietitians. Families looking for a place to recover after surgery or to arrange a brief stay while primary caregivers travel can reserve furnished respite suites, gaining access to the same nursing coverage, therapies, and medication management available to long-term residents.
Resident rooms are designed with practical features such as wheelchair-accessible showers, central air conditioning, utilities included, and housekeeping services; however, not every unit contains every feature, so it is best to confirm during a tour. Many rooms have Wi-Fi, and parking is available for visitors. Common areas include outdoor patios, landscaped walking areas, a piano for resident use, and spaces that welcome small pets—including cats—when prior approval is secured.
Dietary services aim to reinforce medical care plans. Three meals are provided daily, with menus that can be modified for no-sugar or low-sodium needs as prescribed by medical staff. Residents may invite guests for meals, and seasonal barbecues or picnic-style events are scheduled to encourage social interaction while still accommodating individual diet orders.
Daily life is supplemented by organized programs and amenities such as outdoor walking paths, Wii bowling sessions, a library and computer lounge, an activity center, light therapy offerings, and regular off-site outings. Residents can join community service projects, birthday and holiday celebrations, fitness classes, social excursions, and, during warm months, make use of a supervised swimming pool.
