Summerstone Health and Rehabilitation Center in Kernersville, North Carolina provides skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services. The facility offers a complete continuum of care including short-term rehabilitation, long-term living, outpatient therapy, hospice care, palliative care, and respite care.
The center's rehabilitation program focuses on helping patients regain skills and independence following accidents, surgery, stroke, or cardiac events. A clinical team develops person-centered care plans designed to decrease readmission risk and address secondary conditions. In-house physical, occupational, and speech therapists create individualized daily plans with achievable goals to help patients return to as full a lifestyle as possible. Physical therapy addresses mobility, balance, coordination, and joint movement; occupational therapy helps with daily tasks such as bathing, grooming, dressing, and eating; and speech therapy improves communication skills, cognitive function, and swallowing abilities.
Summerstone's 6,000 square-foot therapy gym includes an Activities of Daily Living Suite and offers electrical stimulation therapy to support improved joint movement and muscle strength. For skilled nursing care, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants provide round-the-clock care for both short-term and extended stays, with services including wound care management, fall interventions, incontinence management, IV therapy, full-time physician coverage, geriatric psychiatry services, psychosocial support, and podiatry services.
Located across from Novant Health Kernersville Medical Center and easily accessible from I-40, the facility emphasizes safe discharge planning to support patients' transitions back to their prior living settings.
