Murphy Rehabilitation & Nursing sits in Murphy, North Carolina, in a newer 68,000 square foot building that opened in the spring or summer of 2020, and it's run by local people with Century Care Management, which is a family-owned group. The place has 134 beds and is both Medicare and Medicaid certified, so folks who need help paying for care have some options here. They take care of people who need different types of help, from independent living and assisted living, to memory care, home care, and even hospice care, which means you can find short-term and long-term support under the same roof. They offer skilled nursing care all day and night, so folks who are very frail or need more hands-on care can get what they need, and there's a staff of licensed nurses and medical professionals who keep up with monthly training and yearly recertification, which helps them stay sharp in their work.
The building offers private rooms and has therapy programs for physical, mental, and spiritual needs. You'll find skilled rehabilitation, with occupational, physical, and speech therapy available, plus services like wound care, ostomy care, tracheostomy (Trach) care, PIC lines, gastric feeding tubes, podiatry, x-rays, and lab work. Folks get tailored care depending on what they need, and the staff say they're committed to compassion and a friendly environment from the first visit, even though the average overall rating is 3.0 out of 5, with separate ratings for health inspections, staffing, and quality measures. People who care for a loved one at home can also get short breaks using the respite care services. Residents often join activities aimed at keeping them physically and mentally active, with extra support for spiritual needs as well, and auxiliary aids are available for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The administrator is named Kelly Roberts, and the staff say they want to serve North Carolina communities with a focus on dignity and comfort, and they run programs for all sorts of care needs, so people with different challenges or stages of health still have options. There's a map view feature on their site for finding the facility and checking out similar places, and they've built their services so folks can move between different levels of care as needs change.
