Chatuge Regional Nursing Home Description
The Nursing department provides skilled care to 112 residents. We have just recently gotten a deficiency free State Survey. This reflects the excellent care provided to our residents. We pride ourselves in being a family oriented facility.
The Activity Department at Chatuge Regional Nursing Home provides a wide variety of recreation and leisure programming for residents. Programs are designed to enhance social, memory and cognitive skills, range of motion, spiritual needs and creative expression.
Upon admission, a thorough assessment is completed to identify each person's needs. Treatment goals are then developed to address those areas.
A strong emphasis is placed on improving the quality of life for people who reside at Chatuge Regional Nursing Home. Each individual was once a contributing member of the community with hobbies and interests. Due to natural process of aging, an individual's level of interest in activities that they once enjoyed may decline. Activity staff and volunteers work together in an attempt to restore a person's interests.
