Cary Health and Rehabilitation Center

Cary Health and Rehabilitation Center sits on Tryon Road in Cary, North Carolina, and has 120 certified beds with an average of about 99 residents each day, so it's a moderate-size place, and you'll find care from a team that's on-site around the clock, including licensed nurses and professionals who help with both short-term rehab and longer stays, and they do provide occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy in dedicated departments right there, while also offering post-acute care and specialized Alzheimer's and dementia services, and yes, the center tries to keep things welcoming, even having Ms. Judy greeting people at the front desk, and they put some effort into making the environment clean and home-like, though inspection reports have documented several problems over the years, like 32 deficiencies, including resident rights violations and two deficiencies connected to infection control, with some being severe like failing to protect residents from abuse or neglect, and since December 2021, Consulate Management Company III, LLC has handled operations, with Timothy Lehner taking a turn in May 2024, and the current administrator is Jon Salter, and you'll hear English spoken by staff, though nurse turnover is rather high, sitting at 67.9%-quite a bit above the North Carolina average-and the nurse staffing level is lower than state standards too, at 3.15 hours per resident per day, but on the positive side, amenities aim for resident comfort and most of the care is skilled nursing, tailored for seniors and folks with bigger healthcare needs, and though there's not much detailed info available about specific programs or activities (just that daily therapeutic and enrichment activities happen and the center does call some of its programs by unique names), you do get access to various resources and regulatory oversight, especially through their membership in the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association, and the home is run as a for-profit LLC, part of a family of related healthcare centers like Consulate Health Care, Independence Living Centers, Nspire Healthcare, and Raydiant Health Care, but right now, Cary Health and Rehabilitation Center isn't taking new patients.
