Laurels of Hendersonville

A 120-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center, The Laurels of Hendersonville is located just outside historic downtown Hendersonville. Among our many aesthetic assets is a gazebo area which provides the perfect setting for our guests to enjoy quiet time or social time.

Whether our guests choose to make The Laurels of Hendersonville their permanent home or to join us for short-term rehabilitation, respite or hospice care, we provide the most advanced medical care available outside a hospital.

Our short-term rehab department and its staff are equipped to offer specialized therapy for orthopedic conditions, cardiac recovery, wound healing and neurologic care. We work with each guests’ physician to craft a care plan that helps that guest get back on track as quickly as possible. Our hospice care is marked by a fundamental concern for the comfort and dignity of our guest, as well as for the comfort of that guest’s family.

Long-term guests at The Laurels of Hendersonville also enjoy the highest quality of personal medical attention, as well as lovingly planned activities, events and celebrations that maximize their independence and invigorate their lives. Perhaps most importantly, they enjoy the benefit of our deep, inner conviction that each guest is a valuable human being who deserves our respect, compassion and friendship. It’s called The Laurel Way of Caring and it makes for happy guests.

Advocacy

Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) like Ciena Healthcare provide crucial services for our most vulnerable population: the frail and elderly. Today’s SNFs have significantly evolved over time to provide both long-term comprehensive care and short-term rehabilitation services. However, in comparison to other medical settings, especially hospitals, SNFs are often overlooked for important resources and funding.

As health care evolves, skilled nursing facilities are increasingly providing care previously delivered in hospitals. Nationwide, the 65 and older population will double over the next 20 years. By 2040, it could triple. As our population ages, SNFs are becoming increasingly vital to the care and wellbeing of our seniors.

SNFs need advocates and allies to actively engage with their representatives and speak up about important issues facing our industry. This page is designed to share ways you can help support SNFs and the vital services they provide for our elders.


Contact Your Elected Officials and Voice Your Support for SNFs!

It is crucial the voices of SNF supporters be heard by Congress. Members of Congress value their constituents’ opinions and it is critical they hear from our advocates and allies.

Covid-19 Resources

Find the latest facility data, visitation updates, vaccine information, news and resources pertaining to the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) below.


Our Commitment

Ciena Healthcare facilities are committed to effective communication. We regularly apprise residents, families, and employees to changes in facility status and policy as needed and as deemed appropriate. This COVID-19 Resources page is an extension of these efforts and also serves as a means to update the communities we serve.

Our Reporting Notification Process

In accordance with QSO-20-29-NH from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), our facility strives for transparency in communications with all interested stakeholders. It is in this effort we have created a place for residents, families/responsible parties, and our associates to look to for updated COVID-19 surveillance data.

Our data will never include personally identifiable information. It will include information about our residents and staff for the following aspects of COVID-19 reporting:

  • New Onset of Respiratory Symptoms -- The number of staff/residents newly identified as exhibiting respiratory symptoms of COVID-19 as defined by the CDC on that day.
  • Confirmed Infection of COVID-19 -- The number of staff/residents with whom their first positive result was received utilizing an FDA-approved COVID-19 test kit on that day.
  • New Onset Respiratory Symptoms Over the Last 7 Days -- The cumulative number over the last 7 days of the new onset of respiratory symptoms for staff/residents.
  • Total of Confirmed Infections of COVID-19 -- The cumulative number of confirmed infections of COVID-19 for staff/residents currently at the facility as of today.
  • Cumulative Confirmed Infections of COVID-19 -- The cumulative number of confirmed infections of COVID-19 for staff/residents since May 1, 2020 regardless of whether or not the infections are still active.

We expect to update our data according to the guidance which is by 5 p.m. the next calendar day following the occurrence of either a single confirmed infection of COVID-19, or three or more residents or staff with new-onset of respiratory symptoms occurring within 72 hours of each other. 

If at any time you have questions about the information in the below data set, please reach out to Administrator of this facility.

Note: If no dates or numbers are appearing for any of the categories found in the COVID-19 Surveillance data below, please click on the header in each box to refresh the information. If no date or numbers appear after clicking on the header, then no conditions and/or infections have been reported for that date, per CMS guidance.

Here you will find the latest information on COVID-19 vaccines and how they impact long-term care. We are committed to educating residents, employees and the general public about the importance of vaccines in limiting the further spread of this deadly virus. Resources from the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine (AMDA) and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) were used in creating this page.

Where Should I Look for Accurate Information on COVID-19 Vaccines?

  • It is important to seek information from reliable sources. Social media is full of misinformation and opinions based on that misinformation.
  • Here are some helpful links:
    • CDC
    • FDA
    • State and local health department websites are also great resources for locality-specific COVID-19 vaccine information.

      Is Our Facility Able to Administer COVID-19 Vaccines and Booster Doses?

      • Current and new residents will be educated on and offered the COVID-19 vaccine or Booster dose if/when they are eligible.
      • CDC Webpage on Booster Shots

                    How has Ciena worked to stop the potential spread of COVID-19?

                    • Our facility has been implementing and acting on guidance from external agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Department of Health and Human Services at the state and local level since February 28, 2020.
                    • We are continually monitoring ALL residents and staff for CDC-recognized symptoms and changes in conditions.

                    What happens if a resident tests positive for COVID-19?

                    • Residents who have tested positive receive supportive care in an appropriate care setting per CDC guidance. If additional treatment for a resident is required, we will transfer to the local hospital and communicate with loved ones accordingly.

                              How can I stay informed of what is happening at the facility?

                              • Please be sure your contact information, including email address and phone number is current in the event the facility needs to contact you.
                                • If you need to make changes or confirm your information, please call the facility.
                              • Periodically visit the facility website to see if there has been new information posted.

                              The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a memo in September 2020, revised September 2022, with directives concerning nursing home visitation. Whereas previous versions of the memo outlined certain parameters for restricting visitation at nursing homes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the September 2022 update eliminates these restrictions.

                              VISITORS - What to Know Prior to Arriving for a Visit

                              • Indoor visitation is allowed for all residents.
                              • Vaccination status does not affect the ability to visit. 
                                • However, the best and most proven way to keep your loved one in our facility safe is to get vaccinated if you’re eligible!
                              • Visitors must be willing and able to:
                                • Wear a face covering for the duration of their visit. The facility can provide visitors with a new surgical mask upon arrival.
                                • Follow hand hygiene requirements.
                                • Observe appropriate physical distancing for the duration of their visit.
                              • Whenever possible, we do ask that visitors observe our recommended visiting hours. 
                                • For more information on recommended visiting hours, please contact our facility.
                              • Visitors are strongly encouraged to share their vaccination status with our facility.
                              • Although CMS does NOT recommend, visits are allowed for all residents even if they are in transmission-based precautions or quarantine, or if an outbreak investigation is underway at the facility. 
                                • Visitors for residents in transmission-based precautions or quarantine will be required to wear all PPE (N-95 mask, face shield, gloves, and gown) and physical distance for entire visit.
                                • Visiting during an outbreak investigation or visiting a resident in transmission-based precautions or quarantine puts the visitor at increased risk of contracting COVID-19.

                                            VISITORS - What to Expect During Your Visit

                                            • Per CMS, in-room visitation (rather than visits in common areas) is preferred whenever possible to mitigate potential risk to other residents.
                                            • Poor behavior by visitors and disregard for state or Federal orders is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
                                              • Failure to adhere to the core principles of COVID-19 infection prevention will result in termination of the visit.
                                            • Food and drink may be brought to a visit but should not be shared.
                                            • Smoking is not permitted during a visit.
                                            • Large gatherings of visitors should be avoided.

                                              PLEASE NOTE: A resident has the right to refuse to receive visitors and the facility staff must honor those wishes. If this occurs, facility staff will attempt to connect the resident with their visitors by offering a window visit, or a live video/phone call.

                                              Please be mindful of our residents, associates, and other visitors to the building. If you exhibit signs and symptoms of COVID-19, have recently tested positive for COVID-19, or have had a recent exposure to COVID-19, please delay your visit.

                                              Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
