The Laurels Of Charlottesville provides nursing home care for individuals who need skilled attention and ongoing medical oversight. Licensed nurses coordinate closely with physicians to deliver comprehensive services that include a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program for residents managing chronic lung conditions, a broader Rehabilitation Program for those recovering from surgery or injury, and short-term Respite Care that allows family caregivers to take necessary breaks while their loved ones remain in a supervised setting.
Beyond these core programs, the clinical team supports residents with medication administration, wound care, and routine health monitoring around the clock. On-site therapists offer physical, occupational, and speech therapy as ordered, and care plans are evaluated regularly to adjust goals and treatments. Emergency response systems and access to diagnostic testing help ensure that medical needs are addressed promptly without requiring frequent transfers off campus.
Accommodations at The Laurels Of Charlottesville range from private to companion rooms, each equipped with basic utilities and safety features. Some units include direct access to a garden or outdoor seating area, though not every room offers these options. Housekeeping, laundry services, and maintenance are provided so residents can focus on recovery and daily routines.
Meals are prepared three times daily in a central kitchen, with menus developed to meet nutritional guidelines and physician-ordered dietary restrictions. Staff can accommodate low-sodium, diabetic, and texture-modified diets as needed, and snacks are available between meals. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms may request tray service, while those able to join others can eat in the communal dining room to encourage social interaction.
Residents have use of an activity center where scheduled programs promote physical and cognitive engagement, and organized social outings give individuals opportunities to remain connected to the wider Charlottesville community. A library and computer lounge provide space for quiet reading, internet access, and family communication.
