6 Reasons to Select Bladen East for Skilled Nursing Care
We will treat you like family.
If we had to boil down all of the reasons to select Bladen East, that one would be the most vital.
Because nothing is as important as family.
Maybe your parent lives across the country from you and you’re not able to visit as often as you’d like. Perhaps you have a demanding job that keeps you from caring for your spouse or loved one.
We understand. You’re not alone.
That’s why we know how important it is to treat all our residents with dignity and respect. We provide encouragement, support and world-class care.
Of course, there are more reasons to select Bladen East as an assisted living or skilled nursing facility. We’ve outlined a few of them below.
But first, you may be wondering, what is skilled nursing?
What Is Skilled Nursing?
Skilled nursing is a specialized type of care where a certified health care team takes care of inpatient residents in a community, nursing home or a skilled nursing facility.
In other words, it’s round the clock nursing services for those who need them most.
This may involve helping a resident after a stroke or accident. It could involve assisting them with bathing or dressing. It could even focus on teaching them how to walk again after a hip or knee replacement.

6. We Have Stimulating and Creative Activities
Any facility can boast that they have an interesting schedule of activities, but Balden East takes it a step further.
We’ll tell you what we mean.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, residents could not gather in our large activity room. This was for their safety. However, we still wanted to provide them the stimulation they wanted—especially since the pandemic made it impossible for relatives and friends to visit.
So we simply devised a bingo game that could be easily played with the residents in their rooms. We made a decorative activity cart and brought interesting games to them.
We were able to create hours of fun while practicing social distancing and following all Centers for Disease Control guidelines.
