Smithfield Manor Nursing and Rehab

Smithfield Manor Nursing and Rehab sits at 902 Berkshire Road in Smithfield, NC, right within walking distance of Johnston Medical Center, and the place takes care of seniors who need long-term nursing or rehab care and has a total of 160 certified beds, all dually certified for Medicare and Medicaid, which means residents with those coverages can use their benefits here. The facility is a family-owned, for-profit corporation, with Carolyn Arnn having managed since December 2005 and ownership shared among several members of the Arnn and Maness families, and every owner holds a specific share. The center runs under Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity standards and accepts Medicaid for seniors who need help paying for care, plus long-term care insurance options might be available. Smithfield Manor provides 24-hour skilled nursing care and has a staff of qualified nurses and physicians on site, and there's a lower nurse turnover rate here compared to the state average, with nurse hours per resident a bit above the usual for North Carolina. For therapy, residents get physical, occupational, and speech therapy in the rehab wing, with private rooms for recovery if needed, and there's wound care, post joint replacement therapy, and Vital Stim Therapy among the specialized services. You'll find help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, eating, and there's a team for social work and psychological needs, along with hospice care, religious services, and activities every day. Beauty and barber services are on request, laundry happens every day on-site, and the pharmacy service means the facility stores and dispenses drugs safely. Residents get individualized care plans made for their needs, and meal services include therapeutic diets. There are private rooms available, family councils that are active, and a full-time admissions department to help with moving in. Smithfield Manor reports regularly on inspection deficiencies-there've been 11 cited in the latest reports-and holds to federal care standards, aiming to provide for most needs right on the campus, with a big mix of medical, therapy, administrative, and nursing services all under one roof.
