Our Community Focus

Conveniently located off Wayne Memorial Drive and nestled in the heart of historic Goldsboro, North Carolina— Willow Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation has served the surrounding community and its most vulnerable population for over twenty years.

Our team serves as an extension of our residents’ families— ensuring their loved one’s home away from home is kind, caring, and healing.

We believe in personal connections and knowing everyone on a first-name basis. We believe in providing care and kindness living by the ‘Golden Rule’— Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. We believe each resident is unique, bringing their own life experience, likes/dislikes, and personalized needs.

Our diverse and dedicated team of skilled nursing home professionals work together to focus on your loved one’s quality of life, overall well-being, and safety while engaging them in meaningful, and purposeful activities.

Dining & Nutrition Services

Nutrition and dietary monitoring is an important part of a resident’s holistic care plan. Our registered dietitian serves as a nutrition consultant for the interdisciplinary care team to ensure optimal health and well-being of our residents as well as designing and delivering specific dietary and complex nutrition needs. We provide each resident with a nourishing, tasteful, well-balanced diet that meets the daily nutritional and special dietary needs of each resident.

State of the Art Safety

Safety is a Top Priority

We have multiple prevention methods for the spread of COVID-19 and other viruses. These include routine electrostatic cleaning, needlepoint bipolar ionization (cold plasma), HEPA air scrubbers, and MERV 13 air filter installation. Cold plasma has been shown to kill multiple bacteria, viruses and mold spores, and recent studies have demonstrated a significant reduction of COVID-19 virus when installed.

Partnering With Industry Experts

We developed and implemented industry-leading protocols to help prevent the spread of disease. We partnered with university and community-based epidemiology clinical experts, the North Carolina Statewide Program for Infection Control and Epidemiology (SPICE), while following state and CDC guidance.

Some of Our Additional Safety Measures Include:

N

Following all guidance and requirements for state and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) to ensure optimal patient, family and staff safety

N

Residents are monitored and screened regularly

N

Teammates and guests wear masks throughout their shifts/visits when required

Engagement

Daily Activities

When residents have an engaging social life, they’re able to live more comfortably and productively. Activities give structure which provides them certainty in knowing what’s coming up next; time goes by faster and increases a sense of purpose. There’s also something comforting about having people around who care enough to make your days a little more interesting.

Willow Creek residents are empowered by choosing activities that bring them joy and foster well-being. Our highly skilled Activity Coordinators provide sensory activities for cognitively impaired residents, intellectual activities, music, and social activities, as well as religious and physical activities. It is not uncommon to see our residents bustling safely through Goldsboro while enjoying weekly, supervised outings. For those residents that are immobile, we focus on engagement through in-room activities for sensory stimulation and socialization along with mental, tactile, and auditory stimulation.
