Unc Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center Of Apex is a healthcare facility located in Apex, North Carolina, providing both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care. As part of the UNC Health system, the facility benefits from a broad network of medical resources and expertise. The center is equipped to manage a variety of healthcare needs, offering comprehensive care services to its residents.

In terms of specific medical support, Unc Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center addresses conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and provides services related to podiatry and treatment for headaches. Outpatient rehabilitation is available, which extends the care continuum for residents who have reached a point in their recovery where they can benefit from therapies outside of inpatient settings. Although the facility is commended for its clean environment and knowledgeable staff who contribute to successful patient recovery, reviews indicate challenges in staffing, particularly on weekends, which sometimes affect the quality of care. This understaffing is noted as contributing to delayed responses and insufficient attention to essential care needs, including prevention of skin issues and management of falls. Despite these challenges, Unc Rex Rehab & Nursing Care Center includes amenities such as a beauty shop, which may contribute to residents’ overall well-being and morale. However, concerns regarding communication, particularly with social workers, and allegations of discriminatory practices against Medicare/Medicaid patients highlight areas where the facility may need improvement. Nonetheless, the integration with UNC Health ensures that the facility remains supported by extensive clinical expertise and resources.
