Westfield Rehabilitation And Health Center

Westfield Rehabilitation and Health Center in Sanford, North Carolina provides skilled nursing and rehabilitation care, including short-term rehabilitation, long-term living, outpatient therapy, hospice care, palliative care and respite care.

The facility's rehabilitation program focuses on helping residents regain skills and independence following accidents, surgery, strokes, cardiac events, or other health events requiring therapy. An in-house team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists develops individualized daily plans with achievable goals tailored to each resident's needs. Physical therapy addresses mobility, balance, coordination and joint movement while minimizing pain. Occupational therapy helps residents manage daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, eating and resuming hobbies. Speech therapy improves communication skills, cognitive function and swallowing abilities.

Westfield features a 4,000 square foot therapy gym equipped with an Activities of Daily Living Suite. Enhanced therapy services include diathermy for pain management, electrical stimulation to support joint movement and muscle strength, and vital stimulation to promote better swallowing.

The facility's skilled nursing team provides round-the-clock care for both short-term and extended stays. Nursing services include wound care management, cardiopulmonary therapy, fall interventions, incontinence management, IV therapy, geriatric psychiatry services and podiatry services. Full-time physician coverage and a wound care physician are available on-site. Care plans are developed in collaboration with residents' physicians and emphasize a holistic approach to reaching each resident's full potential.

Discharge planning is an integral part of care, with the team working to ensure a safe transition back to residents' prior living settings.
