Nursing Care Unit

Cherokee County Health and Rehabilitation Center (CCHRC) provides long-term nursing care for our residents who need medical / rehabilitative and restorative care.  Long-term nursing care is probably the oldest, and most recognized, of all forms of senior care.  Our long-term care is designed for seniors who require 24-hour nursing care, including medication administration, assistance with ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), eating, and other personal care assistance.

The nursing care unit is a 139-bed skilled nursing facility.  Our licensed skilled nursing-care staff preserve our residents' dignity and self-respect while providing quality nursing care.  

Our nursing care residences are designed for people who need medical / restorative care.  The spaces include wide halls, handrails and living spaces.  Residents live in single- or shared-rooms, and they share community rooms for planned daily activities, socials, and dining.  Meals are prepared based on individual dietary needs.

CCHRC takes pride in offering the environment, type, and degree of care each individual resident requires to maintain the resident's desires, needs and lifestyle.  Residents and their families participate in a care-planning assessment prior to admission and are provided individualized care-planning options and health assessments.  This resident-centered assessment helps determine the appropriate care and service that preserves each resident's dignity, encourages independence and best enables freedom of choice.  Constant communication with our residents and families help us to always improve our services.

Basic care services include assistance with eating, bathing and grooming, dressing, toilet help, mobility and transport, and other activities in which a resident may require help or supervision.  Basic daily care is generally provided by CNA's (Certified Nursing Assistants) who help residents with their daily living activities. 

Skilled care services include nursing care and related services for those who need medical, nursing, or rehabilitative services for the rehabilitation of injured, disabled or sick residents. LPN's (Licensed Practical Nurses) and RN's (Registered Nurses) provide skilled nursing care services.

Medical care / treatment services are those intensive on-going services provided by an on-staff medical professional and require frequent assessment.

Social and interpersonal activities are provided for residents to interact daily.  Games, music, arts and crafts, recreational and physical activities are provided regularly for mental and physical stimulation.

All of these services are provided by an attentive, caring, and trained staff who are committed to the comfort and care of our residents.  Our primary goal is CARING FOR THOSE WHO CARED FOR US.
