Greendale Forest Nursing And Rehabilitation Center

Greendale Forest Nursing And Rehabilitation Center sits about 12.6 miles outside Kinston, in Snow Hill, North Carolina, and you'll find the place is quite large with 132 beds and offers care for seniors needing either assisted living support or full nursing care, but you might want to know it's classified as a nursing home by the state and currently not accepting new patients. The community averages a 4.4 out of 10 rating, being the highest rated in its city, but there's a 1-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on file, which tells you something right away. The center has studio-style rooms and different layouts for residents, offering private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, wi-fi, and move-in help if needed, and the staff there work long 12-16 hour nursing shifts and provide a 24-hour call system for emergencies. Assisted living here means help with everyday things like bathing, dressing, transfers, and taking medicine, and the staff also provides dietary, social work, housekeeping, and laundry services, plus family support and spiritual care if anyone wants it. The healthcare team delivers services for long-term skilled nursing, short-term rehab, dementia and Alzheimer's care, respite care for families, as well as therapy programs like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. People who need rehab can get help after accidents or hospital stays, and the goal is often to get folks back on their feet, walking again, or using restorative therapy to recover. Greendale Forest tries to keep residents active with recreational and daily events like movie nights, music programs, arts and crafts, games, and things run by the residents themselves, and they've got a library, gardens, walking paths, fitness and wellness rooms, a game room, a community room, and even a movie theater for residents. Dining services include meals cooked by a professional chef, restaurant-style seating, all-day dining, and special diets if needed. There's phlebotomy, X-ray, and rehabilitation clinics on site, and an interdisciplinary care team handles medical and personal care, always striving to maintain dignity, comfort, and a decent quality of life. The place is managed by Administrator Caroline Mumford and licensed by the North Carolina Department of Human Resources, and the community accepts Medicare and Medicaid for payment. The facility's focus is providing that round-the-clock supervision and skilled nursing care, with staff who aim to build relationships with residents and their families, but anyone thinking about staying here should know what the ratings say and take time to ask questions about care quality and staff attention.
