Events
resident council meetings
each month, the residents hold a
meeting to discuss recommendations to our facility and voice their
concerns. everyone is encouraged to participate. all ideas and
comments are reviewed, therefore, all our residents have a say in the
issues that are of concern to them.
pet therapy
we believe that elders should
have access to animal companionship who have the ability to provide
loving care. the aviary and aquarium in the lobby are gathering spots
for on-lookers. we also house 4 healthy cats and residents enjoy
weekly visits from certified pet therapy dogs.

Fidelia Eckerd
Living Center
What Is
FELC?
The
Fidelia Eckerd Living Center (FELC) is an 84-bed facility with 4
private and 40 semi-private rooms. FELC is one of only a handful of
nursing homes in North Carolina that actively seeks to be accredited
by the same rating agency that rates hospitals throughout the state,
even though it is purely voluntary. Each time FELC is rated, the
facility excels in the scores given by The Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. We are proud of this
distinction that underscores our goal of providing for the physical,
mental, emotional and spiritual needs of every resident in the most
caring way we can.
We
realize that transition to a nursing home is a matter of great care
and concern to the families of loved ones, so we strive to create an
environment in which you can have trust, faith and assurance that only
the best in care will be given to your family member.
We are
connected to the Highlands-Cashiers Hospital so that emergency and
acute care are just a few steps away. Each resident is assigned a
primary care physician who recommends a plan of medical treatment,
supervises diagnostic as well as therapeutic procedures, and
personally prescribes and required medication.
We use an
interdisciplinary team approach to ensure that our administrator,
physicians, nurse managers, social workers, dieticians, along with
therapists and special consultants work together to provide the
highest level of care for every member of our Living Center family. We
urge that the residents' family members participate in the active plan
of care to assure that they continue to be an integral part of the
care for their loved ones.
