Carolina Care Health and Rehabilitation sits at 111 Harrelson Road in Cherryville, NC, and you'll find it's got room for about 120 residents, with 107 beds set up for skilled nursing care, so there's space for both short stays and longer rehab. Folks here get help from a big team that includes some experienced nurses and therapists, and you'll see people like physical therapists Gale, T, and Taylor working alongside nurses, speech therapists, and occupational therapists, which means someone's always thinking about more than one way to help people get better.
People can come for short-term rehab after a surgery or hospital visit, but some folks stay for longer care, depending on what they need. There's always access to programs like a wound care program run by its own wound care RN, and they make sure residents get nutritional care, plus physical, speech, and occupational therapy as needed. The gym in the building is newly renovated, and that gives residents a good space for rehab exercises, which does seem to help with recovery.
Community means a fair bit here, where staff work to support each resident's individual health goals, and you'll find the director of nursing, an assistant director, and Travis Alfaro as administrator, helping keep the place running steady. Meals get served three times a day-breakfast at eight, lunch at noon, and dinner at five-so the whole day's got a bit of routine to it, and family is welcome to come and go with 24-hour visitation, which can make a difference, especially for folks who need the company.
The property itself stays tobacco-free, so there aren't any smoking areas for residents, but there's a bit of comfort with private and semi-private room options. There's a beauty salon for haircuts, an ice cream parlor for a treat, and an activity room where people can join events or gather when they want company. If someone wants to see the place first, scheduling a tour is possible. Carolina Care is part of the SanStone community, and the facility has held a focus on strong rehabilitative care through an interdisciplinary approach, using what they've learned over time to help residents recover and keep on with their lives.
