Carriage Hill Health and Rehab Center in Fredericksburg operates as a nursing-home provider, equipped for both short-term respite stays and long-term skilled nursing care. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to handle complex medical needs, monitor vital signs, manage medications and coordinate with physicians. On-site physical therapy is available for residents recovering from surgery, injury or illness, with therapists developing individualized treatment plans designed to restore strength and mobility.
Beyond direct medical support, the center offers ongoing care coordination that includes routine health assessments, wound management, IV therapy and pain control. Social services staff members help residents and families navigate care plans and transitions, while dietary and pharmacy teams work closely with nursing staff to adjust nutrition and medications as conditions change. Transportation arrangements for off-site medical appointments and access to ancillary services such as occupational and speech therapy can be arranged when required.
Resident accommodations range from private to shared rooms, each designed with safety features such as emergency-call systems and barrier-free bathrooms. Some rooms include direct access to outdoor areas, allowing residents to enjoy fresh air without leaving the secured grounds; however, not all accommodations have every feature, so availability varies.
Meals are prepared on site three times a day, with menus overseen by a registered dietitian to address therapeutic diets and physician-ordered restrictions. Residents dine in a communal setting when possible, but tray service to rooms is available for those who need it. Snacks and hydration stations are offered between meals, and staff assist with feeding or adaptive utensils for anyone who requires extra help.
The facility provides a central activity center where residents can take part in scheduled programs. Bingo games are held regularly, and arts and crafts sessions give residents an opportunity for creative engagement. Housekeeping, laundry service and routine maintenance are included, and transportation can be arranged for group outings or medical visits.
