Blumenthal Health and Rehabilitation Center sits on the north side of Greensboro, North Carolina, near the intersection of Lawndale Drive and Pisgah Church Road, and when you come up to the building, you'll see it's got 134 skilled nursing facility beds and a team that covers a lot of ground, including physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech language pathologists, plus an activities director, dietitian, and plenty of culinary staff. Folks there can get care for the long haul or just for a short stay-like when someone needs to bounce back from a surgery, an illness, or even something sudden like a heart attack, knee or hip replacement, stroke, or injury. They've got the LifeWorks Rehab® Recovery Program, which is their own approach for short-term inpatient recovery, and there's therapy available up to seven days a week, sometimes running two or three hours a day, all according to what the doctor orders.
The center offers a lot, from memory care, including dementia and Alzheimer's care, to regular skilled nursing, long-term care, and even options for independent living or assisted living, which means housing plus help with things like eating, bathing, and getting dressed. People needing incontinence care, diabetic care, or who can't walk on their own can get help here, too, and there's speech, occupational, and physical therapy right on site. The gym they use has up-to-date therapy equipment, and they track patient recovery with tools like the Recovery Map™ and Personal Report Card™ to help people and their families see progress.
Rooms at Blumenthal come as private or shared spaces, each one with its own bathroom and an easy-to-access shower or tub, so it works for folks with different needs. Meals are prepared by chefs in a restaurant-style dining room, and they make sure they're nutritious with choices for everyone. People living there can join activities led by an onsite Activities Coordinator, take part in devotional groups, or get out for community events, and when people just want to sit and visit, there are plenty of indoor common spaces. They've got medical supplies and pharmacy services available so folks don't need to worry about running out or having to travel far.
Blumenthal is a member of the North Carolina Health Care Facilities Association and is under the direction of administrator Deborah Stoffel, and the staff works to give every resident personal attention, no matter if someone is recovering for a few weeks in the short-term wing or getting long-term support. The care team is made up of facility staff, not outside contractors, which often helps with consistency and familiarity. Seniors here can count on a care plan that fits their own needs, whether that's steady therapy, daily nursing, personal support, or just a comfortable place to call home for as long as they need.
