The Lodge At Rocky Mount Health And Rehabilitation operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing 24-hour licensed nursing oversight for individuals who need either short-term rehabilitation or long-term custodial support. Residents receive monitoring of vital signs, medication management, wound care, and assistance with activities of daily living, all delivered under a care plan directed by physicians and registered nurses.
Beyond routine nursing supervision, the center is equipped to handle specific clinical needs. Respite care is offered to temporarily relieve family caregivers while ensuring continuity of professional support for the resident. For patients recovering from or living with respiratory failure, the staff coordinates breathing treatments, oxygen management, and close respiratory assessments. A dedicated physical therapy department develops individualized rehabilitation programs aimed at improving mobility, strength, and balance, with therapists available on site throughout the week.
Living quarters are arranged in private or semi-private formats, each designed with call systems, accessible bathrooms, and safety features such as handrails. Residents who wish to spend time outside can access maintained outdoor areas for fresh air and social visits, though not every room has direct patio or garden access. Availability of specific features depends on the assigned accommodation.
Meals are prepared in a central kitchen and served in a communal dining room, with tray service to rooms when medically necessary. Dietitians work with nursing staff to tailor menus for texture-modified, diabetic, low-sodium, or other physician-ordered diets. Assistance with eating is provided for residents who need help, and meal schedules are flexible enough to support therapy appointments and clinical routines.
Daily life is rounded out by an activity center that hosts structured programs such as exercise classes, arts sessions, and group games, all organized to accommodate varying functional levels. A library and computer lounge offers books, internet access, and quiet workspace, giving residents options for self-guided learning or casual online communication.
