Matthews Health & Rehab Center in Matthews, NC operates as a skilled nursing-home, providing round-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, or a brief respite stay. The center delivers licensed nursing care, therapy services, and a dedicated Mental Wellness Program designed to support residents coping with depression, anxiety, or cognitive changes. Families looking for temporary relief can arrange respite stays that include the same full spectrum of medical attention available to long-term residents.
To back up this clinical focus, the building is equipped with an emergency call system in every resident room and common area, enabling staff to respond quickly to changes in condition. A facility-wide sprinkler system enhances life-safety measures, and the nursing team remains on site 24/7 to monitor health, manage medications, and coordinate with physicians. These layered safeguards aim to reduce risks while supporting residents’ ongoing medical and behavioral health needs.
Accommodations range from private to companion suites, some of which include kitchenettes, cable TV, phone lines, and facility-wide Wi-Fi. Select areas of the community feature a library and computer lounge, a fireplace sitting room, and outdoor spaces such as landscaped grounds and an accessible garden. Because layouts differ, not every room or wing contains every listed feature, so families are encouraged to confirm specific details during a tour.
Dining services provide three daily meals prepared to meet varied dietary requirements, including low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, and kosher options. The culinary team also offers healthy snacks throughout the day and works with nursing and therapy staff to tailor textures and portion sizes when needed. Residents may dine in a communal setting for social interaction or request in-room meal delivery as their health dictates.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts arts and crafts workshops, as well as broader health and wellness programs designed to maintain mobility, cognition, and social engagement. Structured schedules and on-site staff facilitation help ensure regular participation and consistent follow-through on individual care plans.
