Grace Heights Health & Rehabilitation in Morganton, NC delivers nursing-home care that covers both short- and long-term stays. The clinical team coordinates post-acute services aimed at recovery and stabilization after surgery, illness, or injury, while also maintaining programs for residents who require ongoing support. On-site therapists guide short-term rehabilitation with physical, occupational, and speech therapies scheduled to meet physician orders. For residents managing diabetes, staff monitor blood glucose, administer insulin, and tailor meal plans to align with medical directives.
Beyond core medical services, the facility maintains 24-hour licensed nursing coverage, routine physician rounds, and pharmacy coordination for medication management. An interdisciplinary care-planning process keeps family and medical providers informed of progress and any needed adjustments. Wound care protocols, fall-prevention measures, and pain management plans are in place to address common geriatric needs. Laboratory work, imaging, and specialist consultations can be arranged on site or through local providers to limit unnecessary transfers.
Resident accommodations include private and semi-private rooms, with select rooms offering direct access to outdoor areas for fresh air and therapeutic walks. Adequate parking is available for visitors and for residents who retain driving privileges, though space can be limited during peak times. Not every room includes every feature, so families should confirm individual room details during a tour.
Dining services supply three balanced meals each day, with menu options adjusted for physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium and diabetic-friendly selections. Healthy snacks are distributed between meals to support blood-sugar stability and overall nutrition. Registered dietitians oversee meal preparation, and substitutions are available when residents have specific taste preferences or allergy concerns.
The community offers an activity center that hosts daily exercise classes, art sessions, and group gatherings. Residents can join organized clubs and interest groups that meet regularly to encourage social interaction and cognitive engagement. A combined library and computer lounge provides access to reading materials, internet connectivity, and space for email or video calls with family.
