White Oak Manor Shelby stands as a for-profit skilled nursing center with 160 certified beds, usually caring for about 96 residents each day, and you'll see a wide range of care options in one place-from independent living and assisted living to full nursing care, memory care, and short or long-term rehabilitation. The building has living and retirement apartments that give people things they might want, like balconies, kitchens, and emergency call systems, and the campus sits in a community environment with nice, well-kept grounds, a secure courtyard, areas for arts and crafts, a library, a dining space where residents eat three dietician-planned meals a day, and a communal lounge with a fireplace where folks gather and visit. Housekeeping and laundry are routine, maintenance staff are around for onsite help, and meal deliveries are available if a resident can't come to the dining room.
A Registered Nurse and a Licensed Practical Nurse provide nursing coverage throughout the day and night, with Certified Nursing Assistants also caring for people at all hours, and help is available for daily activities like bathing or getting dressed when needed. White Oak Manor Shelby offers rehabilitation services in a special wing, with physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy-including Dysphagia Therapy, Speech Language Therapy, and several advanced treatments-offered all seven days, and therapy programs cover everything from wound care, pain management, and orthopedic needs to balance and fall prevention, stroke recovery, and virtual therapy options. Folks with complex medical requirements-like IV therapy, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, prosthetics or orthotics training, peripheral neuropathy therapy, or dementia care-get ongoing care and supervision, including in a memory care unit set up for people with dementia. Residents also get dental, ophthalmology, religious services, pharmacy consulting, and mobile X-rays right there on the property.
The staff tries to help everyone stay engaged, whether through clubs, structured activities, or special events; there's a recreation calendar that includes social, educational, and fun opportunities to foster friendships or learn new things, and the program encourages people to either keep doing what they've always liked or try something different. A community kitchen allows residents to practice their skills if they hope to return home, and the shared spaces-with a beauty shop, storage areas, gardens, and a safe courtyard-make it possible to spend time both inside or outdoors. Nurse turnover is fairly high at 73.7 percent, and inspection reports have found 24 deficiencies, including infection-related issues, though the facility has a dedicated infection preventionist and puts infection control programs in place. White Oak Manor Shelby accepts Medicare and Medicaid, offers case management and discharge planning, provides help with family and caregiver education, and has a focus on safe transitions for residents moving to or from other care settings. The place is managed by White Oak Management, and strives to keep an inspiring, safe, and attentive setting for older adults.
