Dockside Health & Rehab Center in Locust Hill, VA, operates as a nursing-home provider, offering 24-hour skilled nursing supervision for residents who need ongoing medical attention. Licensed nurses monitor vital signs, administer medications, manage IV therapies, and coordinate wound care protocols. The center maintains a structured care plan for each resident, incorporating physician oversight and regular evaluations to adjust treatments. Rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, support recovery after surgery, illness, or injury, and are delivered on-site to limit disruptive travel.
Additional clinical resources include an on-site pharmacy service for prompt medication dispensing, laboratory and radiology arrangements to streamline diagnostics, and transportation to off-site specialist appointments when required. Care teams collaborate with hospitals to facilitate smooth transitions and reduce readmission risks. Social services staff help residents and families navigate insurance questions, advance directives, and discharge planning. The center also provides structured activities aimed at maintaining cognitive health, while restorative nursing programs focus on sustaining mobility gains achieved in formal therapy sessions.
Residents can choose from private or companion suites, each designed with safety features such as emergency call systems, wide doorways, and accessible bathrooms. Some rooms include individual climate controls, in-room television service, and basic Wi-Fi access, though not all accommodations have all the features mentioned. Housekeeping and laundry are handled by staff, and maintenance teams address routine repairs to keep living areas functional and clean.
Meals are prepared daily in an on-site kitchen under the guidance of a registered dietitian. Menus are built to meet nutritional guidelines and can be modified for low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets as prescribed. Residents typically dine in a communal dining room that accommodates wheelchairs and other mobility devices, but tray service to the room is available for those who are unable to leave their suite. Between meals, staff provide hydration rounds and light snacks to support adequate caloric intake and blood-sugar stability.
