BellaRose Nursing and Rehab in Garner is a nursing and rehabilitation center that takes both Medicare and Medicaid, and it sits in a spot where you can see lovely courtyards with nice landscaping, and you'll notice it's got 100 skilled nursing facility beds, which lets folks get help for both short-term recovery and long-term support, so you can get what you need, whether it's daily support with things like bathing, dressing, managing medications, or more specialized rehabilitation after an injury or surgery. The staff includes a doctor, nurse, social worker, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and speech therapist, all working together to give people care that fits each person's needs, and there's always a nurse available for about 12 to 16 hours a day with a 24-hour call system, which makes sure people are safe at all hours. If someone wants to join in activities, there's a schedule filled with things run both by the community and the residents, and amenities like a movie theater, fitness and wellness programs, walking paths, and several activity rooms, along with a nice library, so there's usually something to do or somewhere to visit, and the place feels warm and welcoming, especially with the parlor sitting area with a fireplace and the guest room or lounge spaces where families can sit together.
The therapy offered covers physical, occupational, and speech therapy all under one roof, and the rehab gym is about 1500 square feet, which gives staff plenty of space to help residents work on strength, balance, and mobility, and people with swallowing or cognition problems can see the speech therapist for help. Meal times can take place in a private dining area made to feel like a friendly neighborhood setting, and the rooms themselves are set up with flat-screen TVs, cable, phones, desks, chairs, and large storage spots, and if someone's in short-term rehab, there are 38 private rooms each with their own bathroom and shower bench, which helps with privacy and comfort, especially during recovery. The building uses an emergency alert system for safety, and the staff works day and night, seven days a week, and a friendly group of caregivers always seem willing to give a hand, guided by an administrator named Justin Dixon who's a part of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association. People can walk outside, watch movies, or read in the library, and everything's arranged so that moving in feels as comfortable and peaceful as possible, with support for both quick rehab and longer stays if needed.
