Appomattox Health & Rehabilitation Center sits across from Appomattox High School at 235 Evergreen Avenue, right in the center of town, so it's easy to find, and with 60 licensed beds, the place isn't too big or too small. Right now, the facility isn't taking new patients, but folks can still call to see about spots opening up down the road. It's a Skilled Nursing Facility and a Nursing Facility, with beds for both, and is run as a proprietary business that's part of Medical Services of America. For daily rates, private rooms go for $270, and semi-private ones are $255, and those rates get folks an ensuite bathroom with an accessible shower or tub, which can be nice for comfort.
There's both short-term and long-term care here, covering recovery after surgeries, after accidents, or after illnesses, as well as memory care and services for people needing more ongoing help, and the center's got specialty care, even if they don't list every single kind. The place leans on its LifeWorks Rehab Recovery Program, a unique setup with custom therapy plans, and uses things like the Recovery Map and Personal Report Card to help keep track of how folks are doing and give them a little encouragement. People can get therapy tailored to their situation, scheduled as many as seven days a week, two or three hours a day, with a staff that's made up of physicians, nurses, certified nursing assistants, physical therapists, occupational and speech language therapists, plus culinary staff and a dietitian. English is spoken for sure, and some staff might know extra languages.
There's a state-of-the-art gym inside with modern equipment like full-body strength training machines and a dynamic stair trainer, so people working toward getting back on their feet after a stroke, heart attack, hip replacement, or planned surgery get real hands-on help. Restaurant-style dining means meals are made by chefs and served in a nice dining room, with choices each day. An onsite activities coordinator organizes activities to keep residents busy. The facility uses efficiency indicators to keep track of productivity, costs, and quality of care. Everything is set up for people who need both short-term support and those staying long-term, aiming to help folks regain independence and live life better, taking each person's needs into account with a bit of personalized attention, and all the reports say it's a quality care provider in Virginia. There's a website at www.appomattoxrehab.com where more details sit, and anybody can share, print, or save its vCard profile to keep the basics handy.
