| Wellness Center - our wellness center is available for routine services, such as blood pressure checks, vital signs, weight checks, vitamin injections, dressing changes, and allergy shots. A licensed nurse provides these services, as well as consultation regarding specific health problems. There is no charge for this service except for supplies used. Some treatements may require a physician's order.
Social services - our full-time social worker provides a variety of services to residents, including resident advocacy, communication with local hospitals concerning discharge plans, and assistance with resident transfers to higher levels of care. Our social worker is also available to answer questions about advance directives (living wills, etc.) Fitness - a well-maintained fitness center is provided on-site and includes excercise bicycles, treadmills, weights, and Nautilus equipment. We also offer on-site exercise classes, including stretching, weight training, and line dancing. Residents can also enjoy our indoor and outdoor walking paths, as well as swimming at a nearby YMCA. Emergency medical response and observation rooms - an emergency response system is provided in all apartments and cottages for situations that require immediate attention. A nurse will assess the injury or illness and assist with arrangements for the resident to receive treatment by their physician or a hospital emergency room. Two observation rooms are available for stays of up to 72 hours. Health Center - our health center provides assisted living, skilled nursing, and dementia care. It is licensed and regulated by the State of North Carolina. Independent living residents have priority admission to our health center on both a temporary and permanent basis. Resident Comments - "We are glad we moved to Southminster while in good health with the assurance that our needs would be met as we age. We enjoy the camaraderie of interesting and cheerful residents when participating in the many activities offered." "At Southminster, our rooms are castles, and we're all friends and neighbors. We have peace and quiet when we want it, but on trips, we let the good times roll!" "The staff in Camellia Court is highly professional, yet the atmosphere has a family-like quality; truly warm, personal, and caring. Knowing that my husband, an Alzheimer's patient, was so well taken care of really changed my life too, and brought me peace of mind." |
