Clayton Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits at 204 Dairy Road in Clayton, North Carolina, and has 90 certified skilled nursing beds, and you'll find it often caring for around 84 residents each day, with both short-term rehab and long-term skilled nursing care. The place is a for-profit limited liability company, part of YAD Healthcare, with Patrice Shepard as its administrator, and it keeps nurse staff on hand all day and night, though the nurse turnover rate's 61.8% and nurses provide about 3.02 hours of care per resident each day. Residents get help with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, and eating, plus medication management, rehab therapies, and sub-acute care for recovery after illness or surgery, and the staff includes doctors, registered nurses, and rehab specialists. The center accommodates people 18 and older who need skilled nursing or rehab and can't live safely at home, with care overseen by rules from federal and state agencies and the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association.
The facility has a Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity policy and meets Medicare and Medicaid standards, but you should know it has 29 total deficiencies from inspection reports, including cited issues under F0641 for resident assessments and care plans, F0812 for nutrition and dietary standards, and two infection-related deficiencies, so the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services keep close inspection on its operations. An in-house registered dietitian oversees food and nutrition, making menu adjustments and keeping up with nutritional assessments, while special diets are available for folks who need them, but earlier reports found problems with procuring and handling food up to professional standards. Rooms and shared spaces face scenic nature views with a calming environment, aiming for comfort, and there's a strong focus on treating everyone with kindness, compassion, and respect, offering a sense of community often described as a "Healthy Happy Home."
There's staff who coordinate transportation to doctor appointments, including for wheelchair users, and they provide assistance with activities so residents can focus on their well-being, which covers physical, mental, and social needs. The facility distributes brochures and keeps a gallery of images for people to view, and it emphasizes understanding resident rights, care details, and rules before moving in, which matters since care plans are supposed to be individualized, updated, and completed in a timely manner, though inspections found delays. There's a mix of amenities, a welcoming atmosphere, and a corporate compliance program to match core principles. Staff strive to help residents grow, recover, and reach their best potential with tailored care, but ongoing deficiencies and staffing turnover mean families should review inspection reports and visit to make sure their loved one's getting the attention and support they need.
