Amelia Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center sits at 8830 Virginia Street in Amelia Courthouse, Virginia, out in the quiet with space for visitors. People who need a lot of help can find skilled nursing and intermediate care here if they're very frail or rely fully on nursing care, and you'll also see folks who are here for a short stay after leaving the hospital but before heading home because they need more time to get strong, like after a hip or knee replacement or a fracture. The staff includes licensed nurses who work all day and night, seven days a week, and there's always help with bathing, feeding, dressing, and personal care. The building's got 100 licensed beds and usually fills both private and semi-private rooms, which run $180 a day for a private room or $170 each day for a semi-private one, and during the last fiscal year, they had 34,718 patient days with about 95.5 full-time workers helping out. Jennifer Howell runs things as the administrator and she works to keep everything running smooth.
People who need therapies like physical, occupational, or speech therapy get them in a special sub-acute rehab unit and there's a big, up-to-date gym on site for that, where treatment plans fit each person's needs instead of following only a standard routine. The staff sets up care to keep recovery going even after a patient leaves, coordinating things for recovery at home. The center helps with swallowing and eating problems called dysphagia, works with people with memory loss or advanced dementia in a program for memory care, and manages cancer from diagnosis through treatment and follow-up so people aren't overwhelmed on their own. For pain from injuries or illnesses, there's a complete pain management program aimed at helping people feel better as they recover. People with kidney problems can get renal care, and the staff helps arrange transportation to dialysis if someone needs it, and there's a team for lung and breathing problems, including those who have a trach or need special pulmonary care.
If an infection shows up, they've got infectious disease care and smart use of antibiotics, and for people dealing with brain injuries, there's a neuro and brain injury care team that takes a team approach to recovery. Telemedicine lets people get healthcare and advice at all times of day, which cuts down on trips to the hospital, and people who are recovering from strokes or heart issues can get therapies meant to build back up speech, movement, and daily skills. The center is part of YAD Healthcare, so there's access to more resources and ways to try new treatments. Long-term nursing care means someone's always there to give skilled support and help people hold on to independence when that's possible, and you'll find a respite care program that gives regular caregivers a break when needed.
You won't find pushy bells or whistles here, but the place serves a purpose for those who need this kind of support, and every effort goes into matching people with the care that fits their situation. For more about the place or to look further at details, the website is www.ameliarehab.com.
