Overview of Mulberry Creek Assisted Living

In Martinsville, VA, Mulberry Creek Assisted Living offers four care types, assisted living, nursing home care, skilled nursing, and memory care.

Under assisted living, there is somebody for dressing, for bathing, and for taking medication. Supervision behind a secured entrance is what the memory care tier provides against a wandering risk. Nursing home care and skilled nursing both require a nurse’s license behind them.

Needs that grow can be met here rather than somewhere else. Respite supports a short stay, booked for whatever keeps the usual caregiver from it.

The count here is 60 beds, with 3 hours and 21 minutes of nursing attached to each resident daily. Three payers are taken here. Medicare covers the short skilled run once a hospital stay is behind somebody. Medicaid helps where a household’s savings will not reach across a long stay, and private pay draws on a family’s own funds.

Transportation and a Salon both show as amenities, with Rehabilitation Services handling therapy. Sixty for Walk Score means some errands can be walked, and somebody without a car handles those alone. Kailey Joyce is the administrator.
