Pelican Health Thomasville in Thomasville, NC operates as a skilled nursing facility, providing around-the-clock licensed nursing care for residents who require consistent medical oversight. The community handles post-acute recovery, long-term custodial care, wound management, intravenous therapy, and complex medication administration under the supervision of registered nurses, physicians, and rehabilitative specialists.
Beyond direct medical support, the facility maintains on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy programs aimed at restoring or maintaining functional abilities. Care plans are individualized, regularly reviewed by an interdisciplinary team, and families are briefed on progress. Ancillary services such as laboratory coordination, pharmacy consultation, and scheduling of specialty appointments are also arranged to keep care continuity uncomplicated for residents and their loved ones.
Resident rooms are set up for practicality and safety. Cable television and wireless internet access are available in many units, though not every room is equipped with both features, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Housekeeping, laundry service, climate control, and emergency response systems are standard across the accommodation options.
Dining is handled on-site with chef-prepared meals that follow physicians’ dietary orders and residents’ preferences. Therapeutic diets, texture modifications, and sugar-controlled menus are available without extra charges. Staff monitor intake and coordinate with dietitians to adjust meal plans if weight fluctuations or nutritional concerns arise.
An activity center anchors daily programming that ranges from group exercise and arts sessions to social, spiritual, educational, and recreational events planned on a rotating calendar. Staff encourage participation but also accommodate those who prefer quiet activities or one-on-one engagement, aligning offerings with each resident’s abilities and interests.
