Autumn Care of Shallotte in Shallotte, NC operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing around-the-clock clinical oversight for residents who need a higher level of medical attention than is typical in standard assisted living. Registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants work in consecutive shifts to ensure continuity of care, medication administration, wound management, and routine health monitoring.

Beyond daily nursing support, the facility offers several focused medical programs. Short-term respite stays are accepted, giving family caregivers the option to schedule breaks without disrupting a loved one’s continuity of care. A dedicated physical therapy department develops individualized rehabilitation plans aimed at maintaining or regaining mobility and strength. For residents managing diabetes, staff monitor blood glucose levels, administer insulin as ordered, and coordinate dietary adjustments with the dining team to keep meal plans in line with physician directives.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, and several include direct access to outdoor areas or overlook the landscaped grounds. Wi-Fi is provided in many parts of the building, allowing residents and visitors to stay connected through personal devices. Because layouts and features can differ, not every accommodation includes each amenity, so touring specific rooms is recommended.

The kitchen prepares three meals each day and ensures menus accommodate common therapeutic diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents with diabetes. Snacks are available between meals, and staff can assist residents who require help with eating or special adaptive utensils.

Residents have access to an activity center for scheduled events and informal gatherings, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, and organized clubs and communities that encourage social interaction and mental engagement.
