About Waddell Nursing And Rehab Center

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Waddell Nursing and Rehab Center operates as a nursing-home community that delivers round-the-clock skilled nursing oversight. Residents receive assistance with daily living activities, medication management, and routine health monitoring in a clinical setting designed for individuals who require a higher level of medical supervision than is typically offered in standard senior housing.

Additional medical support includes short-term respite care for family caregivers who need a temporary break, as well as on-site physical therapy aimed at restoring or maintaining mobility after illness, injury, or surgery. Licensed therapists develop treatment plans coordinated with physicians and nursing staff, ensuring consistent follow-through during each resident’s stay.

Accommodations consist of private and shared rooms, some of which provide access to outdoor areas or in-room Wi-Fi. Because features vary by room type, prospective residents should confirm which options—such as patio access or internet connectivity—are available before signing an agreement.

The community serves three daily meals prepared under dietitian guidance, taking into account physician-ordered diets and personal preferences. Staff are present in the dining room to assist residents who need help with seating, eating, or meal modifications such as mechanical soft or pureed options.

An on-site activity center hosts scheduled programs, and organized clubs and social communities encourage residents to stay engaged with peers who share similar interests. A library and computer lounge offers space for reading, internet access, and quiet study, with staff available to help residents use the technology when needed.

Residents and their families say:

This community garners a mix of reviews that mostly tilt towards positivity, highlighting its reputation and commitment to care. Many reviewers genuinely appreciate the professional and caring attitude of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility and its surroundings, and the respectful and dignified treatment of residents. Several positive experiences cite the effective rehabilitation services and the community's ability to stand out as a leader in healthcare, particularly noting its low readmission rates to hospitals and successful rehab cases. The presence of trained staff and the fact that the community holds a valuable VA Contract, which is of significant importance in Southwest Virginia, are also viewed positively. Additionally, the community's efforts to maintain high spirits among its staff and to partner with outside agencies for seamless transitions post-rehab or for long-term care settings are well-recognized.

However, there are some concerns raised by reviewers that touch upon significant aspects of care and administrative decisions. One of the pointed criticisms is towards the dietary services, with some residents and their families unhappy with the quality and variety of food offered, specifically noting a lack of suitable options for diabetics and those on weight loss diets. Another area of concern involves the handling of cases with specific needs; one case mentions the community's refusal to provide care for a resident who only required assistance with transfers, suggesting a possible underlying administrative or operational limitation. Moreover, there were isolated instances of mishandling personal items and failure to fully consider the comprehensive needs of residents with cognitive and psychological issues during discharge planning. One notable issue during the COVID-19 pandemic was a reported case of a resident developing a bed sore, raising questions about consistent quality of care in the absence of family visits. Despite these concerns, the positive aspects, including the commitment to cleanliness, professionalism, and a generally high level of resident care, seem to form the core of this community's offerings.
