Emerald Health & Rehab Center in Lillington provides skilled nursing-home care designed for residents who need 24-hour clinical oversight. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants are on duty around the clock to manage medications, monitor vital signs, and coordinate physician-directed treatment plans. The center offers on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy for individuals recovering from surgery, illness, or injury. Specialized services such as wound management, IV therapy, and pain control are available, and care teams meet regularly to review each resident’s medical progress.
Beyond core medical services, the facility maintains a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates case management, social services, and discharge planning. Care plans are reviewed with families to ensure goals are clear and measurable, and licensed therapists work closely with nursing staff to integrate therapy sessions into the daily routine. The community can arrange transportation for off-site dialysis, oncology treatments, or specialist appointments, minimizing disruptions to ongoing care. Respite stays are offered when space permits, and hospice coordination is available for residents who require end-of-life support.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and semi-private rooms equipped with adjustable hospital beds, call-light systems, and accessible bathrooms. Some rooms have individual climate controls, while others share thermostats; similarly, not every room has the same amount of closet space or seating. Housekeeping, linen service, and routine maintenance are provided, and common areas such as lounges and outdoor patios offer additional space for visits and activities.
Dining is managed by a dietary team that prepares three meals daily plus snacks, with menus overseen by a registered dietitian to meet clinical and cultural needs. Pureed, mechanical-soft, diabetic, cardiac, and other physician-ordered diets can be accommodated, and meal times follow a set schedule that balances nutritional guidelines with resident preferences. Most residents eat in the communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service is available for those who are ill or prefer to dine in their rooms. Menu options can vary by day, and not all residents will have the same entrée selections at every meal.
