Appomattox Health and Rehabilitation Center operates as a nursing-home facility, offering 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents who need ongoing medical oversight and assistance with daily activities. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are on site around the clock, monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and coordinating with physicians to implement individualized care plans. Short-term rehabilitation following surgery or injury and long-term custodial care are both available, allowing residents to transition seamlessly between levels of need without leaving the center.
In addition to standard nursing services, the center provides on-site physical, occupational, and speech therapy designed to help residents regain or maintain functional abilities. Wound care, IV therapy, and pain management programs are coordinated by clinical staff, and visiting specialists such as podiatrists and dentists supplement routine primary care. A registered dietitian reviews meal plans to address medical conditions like diabetes or cardiac issues, while social services staff arrange discharge planning and coordinate transportation to off-site medical appointments when required.
Accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms equipped with adjustable hospital-style beds, basic furnishings, and emergency call systems. Housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance services are provided, and many rooms have cable television and Wi-Fi access, though these amenities are not available in every unit. Common areas such as lounges and activity rooms give residents space for rehabilitation exercises and social interaction, while outdoor seating areas offer a change of scenery when weather permits.
Dining services focus on balanced, dietitian-approved menus that can be modified for texture, calorie, or nutrient restrictions. Meals are typically served in a communal dining room to encourage socialization, with tray service delivered to rooms for residents who are unable to leave their beds or who prefer to dine privately. Snacks and hydration stations are available between meals, and the culinary staff consults with nursing and therapy teams to make sure each resident’s dietary plan aligns with their medical care.
