Franklin Health and Rehabilitation Center delivers nursing home care designed for residents who need 24-hour clinical oversight. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock to manage medications, attend to wound care, monitor chronic conditions, and respond to emergencies. Certified nursing assistants provide help with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, and mobility, while interdisciplinary teams coordinate physician visits and routine assessments to keep care plans current.
In addition to standard long-term nursing services, the center offers short-stay respite care for caregivers who need temporary relief. An on-site physical therapy department works with residents recovering from surgery, injury, or illness, using individualized treatment plans and therapy equipment aimed at improving strength, balance, and overall mobility. Therapy staff coordinate with nursing and medical directors to track progress and adjust goals, supporting safe discharge or a smoother transition back to daily routines.
Resident accommodations include a mix of private and shared rooms. Some units are pet friendly, and selected rooms feature in-room cable television, Wi-Fi access, and direct access to outdoor seating areas. Because configurations vary, not every room includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability that matches their preferences.
Three daily meals are provided and prepared under the guidance of dietary staff who accommodate physician-ordered and personal dietary restrictions. Menus focus on balanced nutrition, and meals are served in a communal dining space with staff assistance available for those who need help eating. Alternate entrée choices and between-meal snacks are routinely offered.
Residents have access to an activity center for group exercises, games, and crafts. A library and computer lounge gives space for quiet reading, internet access, and email. Scheduled social outings into the Rocky Mount community are arranged by staff for shopping, dining, and local events, with transportation and supervision included.
